My 383 Stroker is in and running

[markcp]

Did the installation today of the 383 into my 1978 Monte Carlo. Dynoed at 400hp at 5500 rpm and still climbing. This is just a street car, so no need to get any crazier on horse power. I still need some minor adjustments and bolt up the 50 series Flowmasters.

Sounds And Looks Great! How Much Torque You Producing From The 383??

 

[dirtywhiteboy]

No track running, just cruising.
Builder is sending the dyno sheet, so I should get some torque numbers soon.
Started this project with a stock 305, then was having issues with a 355 I had done. So now it's the 383

I went out tonight after the temps outside cooled down. I see the front bowl of the carb is leaking pretty good underneath. Tightened the four bolts, but continues to leak while cranking. Adjusted the float level, but still needs some fine tuning.

Looks and sounds awesome, should sound awesome with the Flow 50s too. The minor adjustments are expected of course, as in my own case (my crate motor distributor was bad and had to be shipped back to Cali for repair with "propietary" parts). Haven't been on the road yet so I'm just aching to get her there. Mine's strictly for cruising as well -- no track.

Good work, keep us posted with the progress!
