Hi curly, I think you're talking about getting a 400 crank to put in your +.030 350 to make a 383. It will do plenty to increase torque and power.

depends on your intentions of your build. If you want 500hp than go 383, but if you are using it as a DD than go 350 and be done with it.

thats not true at all, 383's make awesome street driven engine, tons of down low power, which is what you want in a vehicle that sees mostly street time

to the OP: the increase from a 350 to 383 is substantial, you will instantly notice a large amount of torque that you didnt have with the 350, i have had loads of fun with mine, tons of tire shredding power

go with the 383 it'll be more expensive but its worth it, i wish i had one

maybe on my next s10 build

depends on the intake just as any engine does, obviously a carb wont be much, but fuel injection is decent... when my 383 was in my nova, i had a holley 650 mechanical double pumper... it didnt get much, less than 10 anyways, back when premium was $1.64 i put about 40-50 a week in it... but i didnt give a shit, i didnt build it for economy

tyson_cbr · 10-26-2009, 03:32 PM

yeah, just curious if any of you guys were trying to save on gas at all, My dad was gonna sell me his 383 but i wanna do a swap with better MPG probably going with a lsx swap. But i love carbs so simple and hassle free.
