Which 383 ? The Mopar 383, Mercury MEL 383....or my favourite the Chevy 350 with a 400 crank...383 ?
Mopar 383.
Dad ordered it on the family station wagon. A Dodge Custom 880, because
mom stopped or slowed down to almost a stop on freeway on-ramps. He
wanted something that would get her up to speed sooner... :B
Chevy 383's are okay, but they have a history of breaking the crank at
the dampener on everyone I've ever touched, but they were pushed way up
there and should have had a forged crank...not a cast crank
