Thread: Planning to build a Marine 383 Stroker

Tweet

Well, I built this monster and man it can get the boat out of the hole like never before. The only expectation not met is that it won't rev any higher than the stock 350 ever did (4200). I would have thought that the extra oomph in size would have bought me a bit more top end (all I want 4600-4800 RPM WOT) So I ask my machinist and he says drop a Holley 750 on it. My Q-jet is likely already that size, even if it was a 650 probably would still breathe ok?. I'm talking this thing jumped from 70 to 90 Liters/hour on the fuel meter, so am I under-carbed or should I pay attention to my stock point-based ignition?

Anyone have some ideas where I should start looking or do ya think that's all I might get? I have the same prop as before too.
