Can you see yourself opening up the early motor to 383? More cubic inches makes it easier for a street motor to operate in a reasonable rev range. How about cylinder heads? Aluminum? Cast Iron? High buck? Low buck? Would $1,600 for a set of AFR heads be out of the question? With 383 cubic inches and a set of AFR 195 heads, among other parts and a 10.0:1 static compression ratio, you could generate a REAL 500 hp and 500 ft/lbs of torque naturally-aspirated, no nitrous. Is that what you had in mind or not?
