406 sbc vs 383.

383 already in place vs. LS and you need a separate plug firing box, new intake and headers for starters. Both can make great power it's just do you want to spend the initial over 1K just to get the engine running in place of the SBC?. You could use a factory computer and then you have to have someone tune it for the mods you will do to …383, 5.7" or 6.0" rods?

I am currently doing a 383 build and have questions on which is the best way to go about it. ...The 383 is meant to be a higher compression engine, using either the 5.7" or 6.0" rods. 400 uses a 5.5" rod. The less oversquare you have in an engine, the more torque that's produced. (Oversquare is bore vs. stroker, for instance 4.030 x 3.750 (383) vs 4.125 x 3.750 (400) vs 4.000 x 4.380 (350), etc) 400 heads also have steam holes in between ...Re: 400 sbc VS. 350/383/396 (dtorc4) How the 400 sbc could end up being so misunderstood by Chevy lovers is a mystery that's sure not to be answered soon. Perhaps it is because some enthusiasts wrongly built them while ignoring the differences from the 350; steam holes, external vs internal balance (aftermarket has complete availability of ...I think it would be a lot more to build a 383 compared to a 396. At least were I'm at, there are the '66-'67 396 blocks everywhere and they all have steel cranks. Building a stroker will cause your wallet to have a stroke.

A forum community dedicated to 1st generation …Most generally, and all other factors being equal, a long stroke small block like a 383 will make better numbers with a 106 LSA cam vs. one with a wider angle ground into it. Your compression ratio is suspect if you intend on running that much camshaft. You really need 12.5:1 minimum to really utilize a cam of these proportions.

The 5.7 and the 5.85 are for engines I still have to balance and assemble. The 5.7 is for a 406 and 5.85 an LT-1 based 383. Here are the rod weights. 5.7 total=630 rot.=451 recip=179 5.85 total == 633 rot= 452 recip=181 6 in total==634 rot=454 recip =180 Not much difference.A 383 will be a better general performance engine, particularly in a truck, because it'll make good low rpm torque with the smallish bore and long stroke, whereas a 377 is a better race engine in a light weight car because of the rpm (read: horsepower) potential. Send a pm if you wanna know more.All these rod-length and compression-height combos will produce an overall assembled height of 9.008 inches, which allows roughly 0.017-inch piston-to-deck clearance with a stock deck height of 9.025 inches.

A 406 that is strong from idle to 5500 will be hard to beat on driveability and fun. A 383 is not going to be much different as far as fun up to 5500. A larger displacement engine will give you the added torque. 67 chevelle malibu / SS/ custom. Currently undergoing a metal work to remove all rust, if I ever get there.

This allows the use of most rods on the market without having to grind any material from them when used in engines with a 3.750 stroke crank, such as those in the 383 and 406 sbc engines, and this includes the Scat H-beam rods, as they usually have the worst cam to rod interference.Nov 7, 2009. #1.

The 427 cubic-inch big-block is an iconic engine. The big-block guys will say that the small-block weighs less, and therefore should have an advantage. However, they will also say the big-block delivers more torque, and has the advantage of better head flow, so it can overcome the extra weight disadvantage. The small-block guys will come in and ...runn141 said: thinking of getting a set of dart aluminum 72cc heads. which would be better for the street 180cc or 200cc intake runner? the camshaft is an extreme energy 262 with a 469 lift. 64cc chambers and 180 cc ports would be the best choice with the XE 262 for anything less and than a 383.

I realize this is a older thread but I wrote this years ago. Holley HP carb inflated CFM numbers Oct 23 2005. Holley is misrepresenting their HP carb sizes, a HP 950 is really a. 830, a HP1000 is about a 870 if measured the same vac as a 47-- series. The industry standard for cfm ratings was 1.5"Hg vac for a 4 barrel.

So, the verdict for me was: to go with a fully forged 383 with a good package. Aim for optimum cam and heads.

by Cris » Fri Aug 22, 2008 6:44 pm. Last months "Chevy High Performance" magazine had a very good comparison between several SBC manifolds. This was one of the (unfortunately) rare times a car rag actually did tests over several manufacturers. They took a garden variety 500 HP 383 SBC and started swapping intakes.

After testing Arties engine, I'm convinced that the solid roller 383 has more potential than 500hp/500 lb/ft still at a streetable rpm.
