In the first place, it's a big block, so the engine will be a lot stronger. Also, look at it dollar for dollar, the SBC has to be built up to get 383 cubic inches. The MOPAR starts there.

A 406 cubic inch small block is one of the most popular choices for Chevy powered sportsman drag racers seeking strong reliable power at reasonable cost. Careful planning and the right mix of parts can push the power close to 700 HP without exotic or costly components. Variations include the option to take the motor to 415ci, 421ci or even 434 cubic inches if so desired...

you would have about 10.5:1 with a 350 but closer to 11.4:1 with a 383, theres 43.75 cubic inches of volume in a 350s cylinder and 47.8 cubic inches of volume in a 383s cylinder. it should be rather obvious that increasing the compression changes the fuel octane requirements.The minimum acceptable clearance is 0.060 - .080-inch between all moving parts and the block. You can check this with a feeler gauge or welding rod of the appropriate thickness. The reason for using a mirror is to make certain the clearance doesn't close where you can't easily see it or measure it.

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.

I wouldn't say your bottom end is the most important; almost always heads are the limiting factor on an engine. to reach 500hp on a 383 you will have to spend a good chunk of your $4500 budget on heads and the machine work necessary to get those same heads up to snuff.Had a discussion recently with some chevy engine builders.

I have a 7500 rpm 383 ci and now I also have a 7000 rpm 427 ci small block. I'd never build another sub 396 ci motor again. Your not going to beat the 434/427 small block with a 377 if you have correct gearing. Lets say that motor "A" 377 makes an average of 500 foot pounds of TQ from 3500 - 7500 and Motor "B" 434 makes 520 lbs from 2500 to 6500.400 + .030 Over Bore w/ 4.00" stroke crank = 434ci. 400 + .060 Over Bore w/ 4.00" stroke crank = 440ci. As you can see, the 427 would be your cheaper alternative but finding a used block that don't need bored is almost impossible. The 440ci is a bit much for street because of the bore size, cooling may be a problem.Apr 12, 2008 · Add in the fact that they're lighter, and its hard to compare. But, as has been said before, BBCs offer more cubes. A simple 60-over 454 displaces 468, so if its big cubes you want, you have to go BBC.
