My uncle Randy used to do stuff like this all the time, he always had 2 engines he was building on at all times, one in his basement and one in his garage. He used to do model cars with me when I was real little, then when I turned 12 he started teaching me how to repair, rebuild, and refurbish engines and transmissions. I'm 28 years old now and I am ASE certified on powertrains(auto and manual systems), I hope to be a master and have my own shop one day.

I had a Vortech SC 383 in my 88 Camaro in the early 90s. I programmed the DFI ECU myself. It had a Lingenfelter box-ram. No intercooler and was set up for what they now call Pro Tour. I was 20 years ahead of the curve. 3.23 rear end and would still not get traction with slicks. You could melt the tires at 60MPH. I transplanted a T-56 Six speed into it. Centerforce had to design a new Kevlar disk to hold the power. It ran low 11s on pump gas without intercooler and 10 lbs. boost.

its like a Chevy 350 Small block with a Modified Crankshaft from a 400 block to fit the Chevy 350 small block with modified bores for increased displacement... in the mean time messing with cylinder heads, effecting the Compression Ration for Higher Camshaft Intake and exhaust duration while retarding the Valve intake and exhaust timing for these alterations all for high 550-1,100 Horsepower with Timing Chain/Ignition Timing Chain altered 6 degrees counter-clockwise for advanced degree angle on the cam to crank gears already preset by the grinding down around the cylinder/pistons/bores.. but yet don't want to stick with the 383 stroke which was the modified camshaft out of the 400 block because you want to cut down on the .27 inches on it? what really made it a 383 was the camshaft modified. reminds me of Chevy's, CT400. oh well eventually they all are molds from each other modified so much and then added to. but anyhow Chevy's small blocks are really 350 with everything else altered in so many different directions, then went large while still working with 350's.

@tomconner5067 4 года назад

Add a methanol and water injector to cool the combustion chamber prior to ignition it should give you the ability to run more total spark advance or make the power without adding timing by promoting a more complete and faster burn with the improved combustion characteristics achieved from just the right amount of water vapor.

Redline Racer actually a 350 can be made to a 406 but not something I recommend someone tries if you didn’t know this can be done. .060 bore, 4” stroke crank and 6” rods. This requires knowledge and block shaving and correct pistons to help clear rods as well.

@brandonbell3089 3 года назад

Dumb dumb dumb. 383 is a smaller bore 400 is all it is. For guys who can’t find 400 blocks. Same stroke at 3.75. The 3.75 crank went back into the bigger bore 400 block. Which actually has a .030 bore equalling 4.155. You can do that with a stock 400 block not a aftermarket like this. Just need a .030 over 400 block.

If they wanted to make over 1000hp without doing the obvious smaller pulley, remove that under sized air filter. Should gain at least 50hp at that power level. Also 4.5" pulley on that blower is just getting started if the crank pulley is a 7.65" which pretty sure it is by the boost pressure.

How are yall goin to get a side beside engine dyno test between boosted and N/A if you change the set up on it? Makes no since! Of course it's goin to get horsepower gain with race gas additives verses pump gas. Same thing goes for the carb if you take the first one off in order to make it better for the boosted pull then of course again it's goin to do alot better on torque and horsepower. Just a thought. Love yalls show.

@bdd1469 5 лет назад

Curious why you stopped at 11-1 compression on the 383. Once your past the point of running pump gas why leave power on the table by not going 12-1 or more? I noticed your power levels are down from the 377 and 383 small blocks we were building 30+ years ago....It's not the heads , so it has to be the lower compression....

William Landen And you base that on what? Even if that were true which, it isn't, the six bolt skirted LS block is objectively stronger than the dinosaur sbc. Meaning, it is better designed to handle high output to start with. You can say the same thing about the rods and even the LS1 cathedral port head will outflow the dinosaur double hump. My point is the only thing left of the sbc was the block, so why not just start with a superior block? And yes that is a rhetorical question so go to your favorite 1950's diner and think about that before you say something even more stupid.
