355 vs. 383????

looking to do either keep i mind this will be almost be daily driven. i really want to push nitrous about 150 shot which would be best for this. the car will be torn apart with new rear end and tranny so that isnt a problem.

This is a matter of budget. The stock bottomend can handle that amount fairly well though.

I hate to say it because I don't like it when people tell me to but do a search. Seriously, there has been plenty of threads this past month on the subject.

Yep, this has been discussed in full.

But the gist of it is, if you got the dough , build the stroker.

But just remember to get intake system and exhaust system (heads, cam as well) to complement the larger cubes of a stroker motor.

For a street car a 383s torque makes it absolutly worth while alone.

Since I built a 383 for myself I wont build a 355 or 350 for performance use for myself again. The smile on your face will tell the tale.

Depends on the deal, would have cost me another grand to build a 383. I am doing a budget build, but my 4340 crank, h beams, and srp's will be about the same price as a 9000 crank, i beams, random piston

Thomas,
You know I have that fully forged 383 for sale. You could get a real set of ***** and spray her up to a 400 shot.

Re: 355 vs. 383????

like everyone says if your on a budget get a 355, then you can use stock crank and rods.

150 isnt really that much nitrous so put some good pistons in it and you will be good.

if you plan on replacing the crank rods and pistons just get a stroker, there wont be too much of a difference in price then. basicly the clearencing.
