What would you guys do?
All right, now that the performance bug has dug in, I'm wanting to buy an old 350 block and build myself a 383 out of it. This seems to be a good choice for me since this is a daily driver, but I'd like to know from you guys that have already done this what other engine options might prove a better choice if I start taking it to the strip.

Re: What would you guys do? (Tominator)
Thanks for you advice. This is certainly my dilemma, but since it is primarily a street car I'm going to build the engine to suit that need. I guess there truly isn't a magic bullet.. :)

Re: What would you guys do? (spiru)
The 383 is a good choice for a daily/weekend driver. I did that with my 350/350hp stock motor. The 350/350hp came with 11.0 cr, not practical today. So I wanted lower cr without sacraficing performance. The 383 has more torque in the rpm range I am driving in, so it was a good replacement for the stocker. Best of all, it still looks stock.........good luck :chevy
