Will a 78-79 camaro run good with a 383
Re: Will a 78-79 camaro run good with a 383
you could build a 383 for a few thousand...or $15,000
depends on what you want out of it, materials, and parts used.
this would be a nice engine to use. even has a warranty

Had a 383 in my old '81 Z28 ..... amazing combo!!
Even when the car had 2.56 gears (yes, 2.56 gears!
) it still pulled like crazy with all the torque!
Mine was a "budget built" 383 ... we bought the short-block already built for a good price, and just put a set of cheap "882" (smogger) heads on it, with a .480"/.480" hydraulic cam, a set of headers, and that car ran amazing!

A complete set up makes more diff than the engine alone. I had a 70 SS w/a350 that out ran many cars with larger engines and more $ invested in them because they didn't have a good set up.
A 383 is great for drags and on the street, but not so much for track racing. They don't do well with maintaining high RPMs like a 377. What are your plans for the car?
