    first thing i would be doing is getting a vr,vs or vt block if you going 383. 383 needs ALOT more block work then a 355 and with that newer block there is less chance of hitting water. I think come are doing a 396 cui now too.I have heard mixed reports about holden 383 but alot of ppl say they dont work as hard as a 355 meaning a longer life. Dont quote me thats just hear say. should be a weapon but good luck

    first off, try using 'V8 Development and Modification' section. you're currently posting in 'Site Feedback / Site Problems'

    second off, speak to come themselves. they know their product better than anyone else and will be able to advised whats the best combo.

    some dash heads and CNC ported will get it flowing good
    all those get judged by me, the king of kings..
