well aware of what a 383 is.
what i was asking is as a bunch of vette owners i was wondering how many 383 ls1 vetts are running around.
2nd of all how do you guys like them
and lastly i thought that it was odd combo since there are a lot of packages that allow for say 427's or 402, 396...
just asking what you guys think of that package.
thanks

I am looking at replacing my engine with a 383. I do a lot of Road Racing and the 383 seems to be a good fit for that. It has plenty of power for what I need. I dont want it pushed, but I am hoping to see somewhere around 525 rwhp/ 450 rwtq. Combined that with 3.73 gears this will make a great road race car.
