I think a 383 is really only a 382.667 static, something like that depending on your head CC, gasket thickness and other variables. Maybe his variables wind up to 381?

Only bore and stroke are used to determine displacement.
Really? Rod length doesn't matter? Or is rod length considered as part of the stroke number?
Rod length determines where the wrist pin hole is located in the piston. When Chevrolet introduced the 400 cubic inch small block in 1970, it had an increased bore and stroke (compared to the 350). The rod length was shortened in that motor because the wrist pin would have been too far up in the ring lands.

Rod length does not matter. It has no bearing on how far the piston travels but only on how long the piston dwells at bottom and top dead center. This can affect cylinder filling, etc.thus factoring into the dynamic CR but does not change displacement. I'd post the calculation for determining displacement if I had it handy. It's very simple, even for a mathmatical moron like me!
or act like one?
Because if not your in a whole heap of CRAP with us Pal!!!
