the only thing hurting will be the gas milage
good choice guys! you can get the kits to build up a 383 or you can get it all done and built for you.
a freind of mine has an engine he bored and stroked to max ...
started with a 400 block,
a kit of rods and pistons to help a 454 crank fit, major cutting nessesary, even the cam was interfering with the crank at one spot until remachined and rebalanced
total displacement from the small block is 434 cubes
then a set of dart pro 1 heads and a 4000 stall torque
hes putting 125 buck of gas to drive the car for an hour
but he estimates the engine has over 600 hp
i think its more because he has a 400 at 525 hp that was dyno tested
and the 434 is soo much more powerful it;d twisting his 67 chevelle soo bad it spends a day or two in the body shop each spring getting the panels realigned
there is no replacement for displacement

I just bought a Jasper 383 to drop in mine... can't wait... it comes blueprinted and balanced. I am putting it in a 1974 Z28 with all of the other stock stuff 4spd and rear. it was also affordable about 3800.00 with a 350 core trade in.

i love my chevy's!!!
as for your hei ... what do you mean by good enough??? it will run.
no change in power until you change your spark power and those e3 plugs are the only ones that realy make a difference in plugs.
but that would be ... more than enough i guess ... lol
