That bigazz cam is going to need a lot of converter to get that thing moving off the line.

It might also be happier w/ 1-7/8" headers instead of 2" to help reclaim some of the lost mid-range.

It's not the way I'd have built it, but it ain't my car or $$$, either. I hope it hauls a$$!


The motor was built on a very tight budget, reusing some parts from a previous 383 build, and a used stroker assembly. The whole build was done for under $5,000. The headers for the car will be Hooker 1 7/8, and the converter that flashed to about 3600 rpm with the 383 (same cam) will be used behind this motor, which has a lot more torque. Considering the very flat torque curve, it should perform very well IMHO. My stab at it is 11.50s on a great day, maybe better. The average air on a good day here is 1400 to 2,000 DA, average is somewhat higher.
