I have 383 stroker in a 73 chevy and it is very reliable... its made probably 20 passes at the strip and i drive it probably 50 miles a week on the street... big blocks are cool but i like the 383 bc you can spin it so high... i used the eagle stroker kit with forged crank, speed pro pistons and rods, and a custom ground cam from comp cams and couldnt be happier, on the dyno it pulled 525 hp, and 570 torque... all Naturally Aspirated....good luck

Griff,

Thanks for the compliment. I can' t take credt for the build, I bought it that way. The car is new to me and it seems every time I look at it I see something new and neet that I haven't seen before. The guys that built it had a ton of talent and vision. If you can somehow post some pictures I would appreciate it

Thanks

David

Sure tha Z28 lacks finesse, so does a 12 gauge riot gun. But it still blows tha hell outta most thangs in its way.

i am a small block kind of guy and i would get a 400sbc stroke it to a 421sbc. Brodix heads long tube headers with a forged bottom in and 11to compression and you could run a 150hp shot all day and still get decent mpg and be closer to 600hp i have done. never ran the quirter because there isn't one around here but it would run the 5.80s all day

Davidlee, that car is beyoootiful. You are very lucky to own/drive it.
