Most people will tell you the extra cost of machine work and parts isnt worth the gain of those extra cubes over a 383. Plus in order to make it work you need some killer(read:EXPEN$IVE) heads where you can get by with some ported stock castings with a 383.

Yea, I figure I would need some big money heads, I just want to know if it was worth the build for a DD.
