They had been hearing of ‘bad press’ for the 335hp ‘383ci’ so 'MOTHER MOPAR' wanted to put the record straight lol. On the Dyno, a brand new low mileage 383ci made only 280 horses... So with lots of machine work and the right camshaft, they got it up to 420 horses. The article does not say which heads were used 516 or 915 (440) heads? The biggest problem being was 'factory over-tight' clearances. ''Freeing the horsepower'' was just more piston to wall and bearing gaps, worth 100hp... My car, Duster @ 3000 pounds and me at 180 ran 118, the Wallace calc says 400 Hp. 030 over pop up TRW slugs, stock bottom end, .509 cam, 915 stock heads (triple springs), isky rockers, Torker intake, 3310 Holly, Hooker headers, 4.88 gears 11.5X 29.5 M&H slicks and street Hemi converter. A little port work in the heads and I’m sure it would have run faster Last edited by cudaman1969; 12/20/21 04:44 PM.
