1970 - 1 - The 383-2bbl and Carter 383-4bbl engines share the same cam & valve springs. 2 - The Holley 383-4bbl & the 440HP 4bbl engines share the same cam, valve springs w/damper, & windage tray.
as I see it - The orange 383 engines were for the "muscle-cars" in Plymouth "pony car" speak - the "'Cudas", for plenty of show -n- go! ----- ( you won't find any blue-383s as original equiptment in one! )
The blue 383 engines were for the "personal luxury cars" in Plymouth "pony car" speak - the "Gran Coupe", plenty of torque for the added weight of A/C and other options. 2bbl or 4bbl? How do you like to roll? The b'cast above (thanks Nigel) shows a BP with a 4-spd w/HOLLEY & orange "HP" engine. ----- ( who has a b'cast for a BP with N/auto, A/C & 3.55s? any HOLLEYs on there? ) ----- ( who has a b'cast for a BP with N/auto & 3.91s? I bet we have HOLLEYs on there! )
That leaves the Barracuda with a 383 - any way you want it. ----- ( who has a b'cast for a BH with N/auto, A/C & 3.55s? any HOLLEYs on there? ) ----- ( who has a b'cast for a BH with N/auto & 3.91s? I bet we have HOLLEYs on there! )
