Thread: General Opinion: Swap a 350 for a 383 or 396?

Tweet

I would just like to ask a uestion here.. "Are you going to build up this motor yourself ?"

Just asking because if you want the easy way, just go out and buy one and shoehorn it it. If you are doing the buildup yourself, the easiest way to big cubes is to build a big block.383's are a little bit more of a challenge and involve some thinking ahead. But whatever way works best for you.

well you know you could build a 454 small block, but that could be pretty spendy. im building a 406 right now, and the combo im going with is should produce 425 hp at 5000 rpm, and 523 lb ft torque at 3500 rpm. Thats at the flywheel. I got the vortecs with stock 194 150's in them and thats what gets the torque so much.
also, my buddy just finished his 355 build, with aluminum vortecs, lunati roller cam, and the whole works for 4800. he dynoed it at 422 hp
just some thoughts

He could build a 454 small block if a he had a World Products block.

Do not forget to put the same amount of attention in safety, like brakes and seat belts.
