Default Le2 for a 383?

I have a set of le2 heads currently on the car with 2.02 intake valves and some extra home porting. Will these be suffient for a 383 build or should I stick to a 355? I only ask this because I don't really want to spend $1800+ on afr/equivalent heads after I worked so much on these. Only down side is that I don't know the current flow rate of mine to help me judge. Thanks for any advice.

Depends on ur goals. They will work great but if you want max effort there are better options. AI. 200CC, AI/L.E. ported trick flows, afrs ect. More than likely you will be happy with them.

LE2's will work great on a 383. I had mine milled to have 50cc chambers on my last 355 and ended up with 12.4 compression. LT1's love compression so either LE heads or AI heads will work great.

For a street/strip friendly 383, LE2 is just fine. If your more for forced induction or just strip only, there is LE3 and LE Trick Flow that Lloyd offers, Advanced Induction has some good stuff, etc.
