Built my first 383.. How much power?
Well guys i built my first motor which is a 383. I built the hole motor for right around 1600 bucks. My top end is a 750cfm demon, HEI with good plugs and msd wires, victor jr intake, Then i got old school double hump heads 2.02/ 1.6 valve job and some porting, Then i got the old z28 cam out of the 67 camaro it is a solid lifter. 1.5rr's, then i have all fordge internals with 6" rods, Then surprising me! im alittle over 11 to 1 compression.
With that being said i was wondering how much hp and tq you guys think im putting down? I put it with a muncie 4 speed and a 12 bolt with 4:11s and it feels pretty strong!
thanks
kevin

200 to 600. Stick it on a dyno or head to the track and figure your hp by using the mph and weight of the car. Anything else is really a guessing game.
