very nice motor, super clean. Im almost done with my 388, exact to yours only 6.0 rods, went w/ iron heads w/ 5 angle valve job for nitrous. We are using a .600 lift n2o cam. How big is the lift on yours?

@STLherps this motor only had about .535" lift, but was also mostly a hot street car.

THATS ABOUT IT FOR A STOCK EARLY CHEVY BLOCK. Some of the newer motors they're building 427 cid small blocks. BIG BIG BREAD Though.

Whats the difference between a 383 and a 388

[smactek]

just the bore. this motor is 4.060 bore by 3.75 stroke (with 5.7 rods) which equals 388.39 cubic inches.

When you start getting up to the Bigger displacement small blocks the "Side load" that the larger stroke cranks create for the Cyl walls makes em not to practicle for street use , at least My feelings ...like the 421, 434 and even the 454 small blocks So for Me I'd stick with nothing bigger than 415 for street & strip use ....I don't want a street car who's motor I have to Gut every season .

Nice man. I've got a 79 camaro 2 bolt main that I'm doing a 388 on, already got it bored .060 over. looking at voodoo cam, .500 lift and some ported vortec heads, top it off with an edelbrock manifold and 2 holley double pumpers and I'll be in business!

Want :D

My 350 would give that a run for it's money though. It was hand built by someone who can 'hear' the inside of an engine through a wooden stake and use it to diagnose problems, like a stethoscope to a heartbeat.

It was built by mah dad lol.
