....I bet now somebody will tell me that they can build a 340 and outrun a 360......



LMAO. But I've built a 340 that outran a 383.

Well some people have built the bigger bore shorter stroke 340 that could outruns 360s. Mostly that was years ago before 340 parts because scarce. For sometime now parts and alternatives have been developed for 360s to produce more power. Its easier to find, purchase and build 360s than back in the 1970s.

As for the 383, Im simply not a fan of the power it produces. Yes it can produce power if stoked. But otherwise based on dollar for dollar money the 440 will produce more power. And I think this is especially true if your working on a working mans budget.

You have your 383 guys who will vehemently defend them and find the exceptions to the rule examples sure, but some would say they would rather stroke a 400 motor than a 383. This I cant speak about, perhaps someone else could address.
