Default Looking for Side Pipe kit with manifolds

I have a 69 with a modified 350 engine, ported to 383ci (6.2L). Anyone know who may make a kit for this engine? Will a standard 350 kit work?

You don't port an engine to a bigger displacement.
That aside, yes something that fits a 350 should fit a 383, with certain exceptions.
I would suggest some homework.u

Do you mean stroked to 383?

All that should matter are what heads are on it, making sure the headers fit if you have non-stock angled spark plugs, and matching the port size to the headers so you don't create a restriction.

Do you want the stock appearance '69 sidepipes, or the Doug's/Hooker style?

Yes, you are correct. Stroked to 383. I haven’t decided on the style but am leaning towards the Hooker style. Thanks

I'd go with the Stahl/ACP side exits.

The Stahl headers are the best hands down, but they cost alot more and if you aren't chasing every horsepower the hooker, Doug's or OBX are just fine.

It appears to me the OP has a built engine, so why not go for the best? Probably has a better drivetrain, suspension, and tires for the built engine. In the overall scheme of dollars spent, it isn't a lot.
