Hey guys I have a played out 350 in a 1977L82 wanting a 383 stroker.. But was told that I would have height issues with the high intake manifold.. Has anybody done this conversion with a special intake and carburetor/air filter.. If so what combination of parts did you use to avoid this problem.. In the process of pricing out blocks and was disappointed that a 383 would have height issues I appreciate any help that anybody can give thank you..
100% depends on your choice of intake manifold. The highest point of a 383 less the intake is the same as a 350. There are intakes available that will fit easily under a stock hood. I can't help much past that, I have a big block, but there are way more guys with 350/383's that can give you part numbers of intakes that fit.
383 is the same height as your 350
Many have strokers here sure they will chim in
Doesn't matter whether its a 350 or a 383. The external dimensions are identical. Its all about the intake manifold. If it won't fit under the hood on the 383, it won't fit under the hood on a 350.
