A lot of it comes down to personal preference irregardless of tech.

I know for me some of the discussion comes down to the body type the engine is going into. For example I prefer to see Big Blocks under the hood of B and E-Bodies. Small blocks suit A-Bodies just fine. Sure one could argue AAR and T/A E-Bodies but those are more of a rare novelty than anything in my view.

That said, I’m a Big Block guy, and if I was given the choice between even a 360 and 361, I’d go with the Big Block hands down. So what, it weighs more, don’t care, I prefer the Big Block design over the small block. Again, just preference.

again, $ for $ a 383 will stomp a 360 or any SB build.




MAYBE in OEM form. M A Y B E. But "any SB build"???? Slow down there before you hurt yourself...LOL!

But just for grins, let's see all of the fast 360's and 383's and compare...






yeah? $ for $ so you drop 5k into a 360 and I'll drop 5k into a 383 and I'll spot you a light or 3. You can even run an A-body if you like.




Hey now... if you guys are going to turn this into a 360 vs 383 bench race, at least keep the strokers out ov it. I'd even say keep the aftermarket blocks out too...




I'll still take the 383.. especially if you are talking junk yard builds I'll take a 383 w/ ported 915 heads (or 516 w/ bigger valves) old school 509 cam, Torker II intake, headers and a rebuilt old holley DP. bang the gears at 6800
