Plain and simple " There is NO replacement for cubic displacement". Go 396 you will be happy with the end results. But if you go 383 you will still be happy.

Out of curiosity and not meaning to be a thread hijacker. But why are you only spraying a 75 shot on your 396 ?

LOL, it's built to hold 250 fully forged, Part of it is my noids are weak and struggle at over 100. The other part is i like taking my time to my max output, I'll run a high 10 on a 75 shot and bump it when I get bored!

I can't remember the source, but I read a thread where someone suggested that a 383 with a 6 inch rod was the ideal engine. They were discussing NASCAR and such, and their argument was quite convincing. I would suggest more research prior to making your decision.

does not matter 396 or 383, it will come down to how good your heads flow and the rest of the combo. That is what is important!
