the 383 a-bodies were all built at Hamtramck "B"

the 383 castings with the bosses ended up in many other cars, the bosses went unused

if your engine is a D 383HP it is from a Super Bee or Road Runner

The motor mount came from C-Body's anyway, so lots of 383 blocks with those bosses. work


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Some of the bosses were not tapped
