406 sbc vs 383.

Re: SBC 383 vs. SBC 400 (Jenny) I'd probably go for the 383 unless I already had access to a good 400 block. The 23 extra cubes of the 406 (a 400 block with a .030 overbore like the 383) should yield a nearly proportionate power increase but I don't think it would be that noticible a difference unless measured on a dyno or at the strip.Those are the pros. The cons are you lose a LOT of torque in the mid-range and HP right across the useable RPM scale the wider the LSA.

I think it would be a lot more to build a 383 compared to a 396. At least were I'm at, there are the '66-'67 396 blocks everywhere and they all have steel cranks.

So, the verdict for me was: to go with a fully forged 383 with a good package. Aim for optimum cam and heads.

The deal with making changes to headers in this way is that it can have a significant effect on metering. So, the header that makes the most power, may only be doing so because now the engine received a better a/f ratio.

All these rod-length and compression-height combos will produce an overall assembled height of 9.008 inches, which allows roughly .017-inch piston-to-deck clearance with a stock deck height of 9.025 inches. In this example, the 6.00-inch rod requires a compression height of 1.133 inches (SRP's 6.00-inch rod pistons use 1.125 inches).

Just saying.Most generally, and all other factors being equal, a long stroke small block like a 383 will make better numbers with a 106 LSA cam vs. one with a wider angle ground into it.

Most folks are doing the opposite, exchanging 76cc heads for 64cc heads to raise their compression ratio. Those 76cc smog era heads are pretty much the worst heads Chevy ever produced for the small block. Like.

A longer rod will give you much better performance than a 2.055-inch valve will ever get you. All said, you will not go wrong by opting for 2.055-inch valves over 2.02-inch valves. However, the same time/money spent in other areas will likely generate better results. Last edited by Corvette Kiwi; 05-16-2011 at 02:11 PM.

If it's a 383 stroker, you can probably go with 200cc intake runners.
