383 v 383
looking at a newer stronger engine and although like the 408,s ,427,s these guys can build better motor than me.. and turn key no more worries.
i have nowhere to build a motor and am not a pro but have no issues maintaining it.
It all comes down to what i need ,, a good car to drive and a strip car 2 nights a month..
1 this good engine

2 this good engine

both simmilar prices and simmilar power and capable of 11.5/12.5 et,s all night
