The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
that's kinda what I'm thinking.
I'm really leaning towards the 383ci. Saving myself some money vs buying another block. That money can go to an intake / tb

that being said, im REALLY leaning towards going the 383 route. If i can get some good power out of it and then hit it with a healthy dose of nitrous, i think i will be quite happy with that. If i can get the car to go high 10's on motor, a 200 shot will do wonders im sure.
Most of the 383's I have seen seem to make a lttle more torque that the 347 but not much more HP. I would take the money that you save on the crank and put it towards a stand alone and getting set-up for a bigger shot. You don't want to pull 200 from the rails.

OP, go with the cubes you will be happier you did. You will need a crank no matter how you look at it. Might as well spend the money and go with the cubes. If you go with a 347 you will still need pistons and rods and will still have to machine the block so why not throw a crank in there for the hell of it.

C16 fuel has nothing to do with pulling from the rails. You are still robbing fuel from the injectors. Have you ever logged your fuel pressure and see what it does when it takes a 200 from the rails? We have, and it is anything but steady
Just my .02 but I would buy a good stock crank for $100 and put the other $800-$900 you saved towards a stand alone and crank the nitrous up. The nitrous will more than make up for that little bit of average power you gained going 383.

I never did say that c16 has anything to do with pulling from the rails. Carter 01 just uses c16 because he is on a big shot and doesn't have a standalone.
With going with a 383 you will have the torque and hp on tap all the time instead of having to be handicapped and using nitrous to make up the gap.
