Did mopar offer the two carb 383 in 1963 like they did in 62. I think it was rated at 343 horse power in 62.
I know a guy running one in E/SA, his 383 makes over 500 hp and runs 10.60s.
Have a great day

According to several old time drag racers in SO CA back in the early 1960s that did R&D for Ma Mopar then only factory sponsored racers got the parts to make their original single four barrel cars have that "special" option  None of those 343 HP optional motors made for Dodge or Plymouth in 1963 either due to the 415 HP and 425 HP Max Wedge and SS option cars being available through the dealers.

343 is also a cam change.
Same manifold used in 1958 350 Dodge, 361 etc.

If it's in the guide, it's legal. Doesn't always mean they actually built it. Some combos are legal only for SS due to a limited number of cars built in the configuration.
ETA The 2x4 343/383 appears in '62, not in '63.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
