I'm sorry; anyways, for you stroker guys, who makes a good 383 kit, and what are the advantages of buying a kit that is balanced?

 

Scat has some deals. interaly balanced cranks won't wobble like external ones.

 

A 3.75" crank (the stroke that turns a 350 into a 378, or a .030" over 350 into a 383) won't turn your 267 into a 383, it will turn it into a 288. HUGE maze, no cheese.

The 267, 305, and 350 all have the same 3.48" stroke, but different bores. You'd be about $1000 and 20 to 70 cubic inches ahead if you just went to the junkyard and got a 305 or a 350, which are therefore basically bored-out 267s. The 267 already has too little bore for the stroke it has. All the 305 performance problems, such as the bore being too small to accept decent-sized valves, would be amplified with a 267 block. I'm not telling you what to do, but IMHO the 267 is not a suitable choice as a platform for any kind of performance build-up.

I think a 327 crank in a 267/283 block was the old 307. a 350 crank might get you a 315 if I remeber, a .060 over 267/283/307 block and 350 crank was 5.2L (I wanted to find a chevy combo that would be 5.2L like mopar )

Tas:

The 267 is not the same bore as the 283 and 307. The 283 bore was 3.875", the 267 bore was about 3.50" (3.495" maybe? I'm not sure; I really don't care to be honest). The 307 was 3.25" stroke and 3.875" bore; the 327 was 3.25" stroke and 4" (same as the 350) bore.

Also, there are very few, if any, 283 blocks that have the large crank journals. AFAIK the only large-journal 3" combo ever built was the 68 & 69 302. So it is not possible to install a 3.48" stroke in a 283 block. The 307 blocks did use the large journal size, so it would be possible to put a 350 crank in one of those. That however would give you a 328 in std bore or 338 in .060" over, which would be 5.4 or 5.5 liters respectively.

Put a 350 crank in a 267 and it's still a 267, except that now it's slightly unbalanced.

Stroking a 307 was not considered by anyone as a performance option in the days when that was the raw material we had to work with, in fact no part of the 307 was considered as a performance part, period. Not the block, not the crank, not the heads. The factory thought the same thing: there was never even a 4-barrel version of it made.
