My dream car is a '70 chevelle LS 6.

454 producing 450 hp and close to 500 ft-lb of torque.

a revolutionary car for the muscle generation.

Not a fan of the z28. Don't know why, just not.

But, one things for sure, any of these bury a pony every day of the week and twice on sunday.

383 is just a bored out 350. Even a 350 will be enough to force a transmission swap also!

No need to overbore a 350...

the bigger displacemnet does nothing but weaken the cylinder wall.

A steel crank shaft, 4 bolt mains make the motor durable..
And as we all should know it's the Heads that produce the HP...
202 valves, screw in studs, ported AND polished,,,

now that's a beast...
