383 small block chevy

I built this nasty 383 small block for a long time friend of mine, Doug Sanders. Doug is a local Sonoma guy who owned "Muff 'n Stuff" Muffler & Brake. (He did fantastic work by the way and did all of the exhaust systems on the cars we built). He was building a nice 68 Camaro and wanted a nasty power plant to go eat up all of the wanna-be locals with their chromed-out generic crate motors, so this almost 11:1 compression, .647" solid roller, fully CNC's 230 cc "race" AFR headed, all forged 383 is his answer.

It had 6" 4340 H-beam rods, a lightened-up 4340 steel crank and JE super lite pistons to name a few internals. The port matched "Super Victor" intake and Quick Fuel 750 carb topped it all off. With his TKO 5 speed and light little car, this power plant did the job without a hick-up!
