I have a 64 383 block stamped HP.
Yeah, that's why I'm asking, I have a 66 383 block with HP stamping along with a P that I suspect means premium fuel.
The P did mean premium fuel.
I think at one point chrysler had 2 4bbl 383's a 290 or 300HP and what I'm googling was a 325 HP ... in 68 and 69 the 2 383 4bbls were 330 and 335 ... they only put HP on the higher HP engine . I had a 68 Sport Satellite 'vert that was a 330HP 4 bbl car , original numbers engine , no HP on the pad , but it did have the P for premium fuel as it had the same compression ratio as the 335HP road runner engine.
