I was just kinda thinking about this earlier. The 383 only has 23 more cubes than a 360 and shorter stroke. I have never built a BB or RB motor so I only know what i've read and seen 2nd hand.

I know this is kinda a weird question, I was just curious. I was thinking and the 360 only looses 23 cubes but has a longer stroke. However, the 383 has a larger bore and probably heavier pistons. So, which is more of a torque monster, by how much, and why?

I know it would depend on how you build it, but lets just say for a standard mild build. Dual plane intakes, and nothing really exotic in terms of parts.

Also, aside from cost (which is obviously a HUGE factor) what are the benefits of one motor over the other. And no offense, but I am looking for objective answers. I understand some people just have their personal reasons for one kinda motor over the other (favorite motor is the 318 poly).
