No more idiot...

Thanks guys!

Another ??, My 383 is mostly stock, I have an Edlebrock on it and the ignition upgrade and thats about it. (stock exhaust manifolds)I want to switch out/upgrade the Cam/lifters with a 1 step above stock set, my motor is original and I don't want to start busting it up with fire breathing upgrades. Any recommendations for a quality flat tappit cam??

Thanks again! :thumbsup:

Comp XE262 or XE268 seem to be the most popular choices for your set-up.

I wish I was building something similar right now because I'd love to evaluate the Lunati Voodoo equivilants. No one here has taken the plunge yet unfortunately. Looks like there might be a few free ponies available based on the research I've done... but I can't steer you there because I have not tried them out yet myself...

I'm using the 268XE...very happy with it...
Decent idle with a slight crackle...
Smooth acceleration...
Power comes in low for good street manners, and screams at 5500-6000....
Basically stock 383 with a .030 overbore...
Mine's a 4-speed... may act different in an automatic??

:thumbsup:
 
The Comp XE series work great. Cant go wrong with that. Just make sure that you do all the necessary stuff when breaking it in, or you will regret it.
 
I've got the motor out and I'm slowly disassembling and cleaning it. I was nodding towards the 268, but between here and Moparts I'm doing some more research.....

What? Not enough bitching, whining, complaining, name-calling, or self-appointed-MoPar-Demigod advice for you here??? :basketcase:
 
lol.... more like information overload, I am doing alot of research and asking alot of "what would you run" I want to match parts as close as possible. I don't want my motor to be a dog......

Any suggestions for a carb? I want to run a performer RPM... apparently the ebrock 1407 I'm running now is a dog

Get Comps kit, springs and lifters and throw a Holley '3310' 750cfm vacuum secondary at it :thumbsup:

the Holly would work good with a performer RPM?
 
Shouldn't he be watching his height with the intake change?

Are the Orange inserts for looks or are they functional (air grabber)?

If not (unsilenced) the base from a Ford Drop base air cleaner works wonders on a 440 with no clearance issues at all.

Normally yes, but I am going to run a 50/50 hood.

Looks

Is there some type of clear aerosal spray that can be applied to aluminum intakes and such to keep the finish from staining?
