Making A Small Block 350 As Fast As It Can Be
I have Serious plans to rebuild my 350 and want it to be as fast as it can be but ive heard I should make it a stroker motor and it would be alot quicker but Im not exactly looking to make it quick but want it to be quick while having lots of horsepower I heard making it a stroker but putting in domed pistons would defeat the purpose What Should I Do?No body messes with the Night Rider

Well, as fast as it can be is open to interpetation. In my neigborhood that means you are ready to spend about $20,000.00 on an engine. Domed pistons raise the compression and make it almost impossible to run the car on pump gas.... A stoker engine has a longer stroke and will produce more torque at a lower rpm.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Are you aware that there is no 383 to get a crank from? Chevy never made a 383. The 383 started with folks using a ground-down 400 crank in a 350 block. Pure hot-rodding initiative. Now, custom cranks are available, as are complete rotating assemblies.Jack

Yep go the 383 way. And for a broad power band and good kick in the pants low end torque you need to install a 671 cam."aerodynamics are for people who cant build engines"

What is so much better about making it a stroker (aka 383) other then to just shave the heads get domed pistons ,port and polish? Would it just be Quicker?No body messes with the Night Rider
I had to go to the doctor's this morning. He told me that my sugar was too high so I came home and put it on a lower shelf. I feel better already.
