383 with 4-11s in the rear is what i sported in my 78 cutlass.
383 will give you a little more torque than the 318. are you using a turqueflite 727 or a manual?
I'd skip the Turbos and just go with http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new … sler.shtml

did you ever get your interior figured out?
Quite so. I got this awesome neoprene type stuff and vinyl (dark grey, black, blue) and new bucket seats installed and redone for $550 bucks. Turns out my neighbor does interiorsReciprocity wrote:

I just remembered that the 383 chrysler is a big block. you'd be better off with a 340 or 360. A mildly built small block will give you power, reliability, and ok mileage.
Where's the kilowatt translation!
wouldn't a penis enlargement be cheaper?
sorry. im one of those 'cars from A to B' kinda people.

Well I have a 383 B w/ aluminum Edelbrock heads and a single 4 barrel carb in my 1970 Dodge Challenger with a Kiesler 5 speed. That is a sweet street combo.stryyker wrote:

I guess It all comes down to how fast you want to go and how much you wanna dick around with maintenence alot (ie multicarb setup) or minimal as in the new EFI setup from Edel or a good ole' 4 barrel.
Post some pics of your car please, it sounds tuff!
EDIT: Here's my (sort of) car in a couple of years, my father has owned it since new (1987), Its a holden (Aussie ) VL calais, 5.0 litre 304ci V8, Extractors, Custom S/S 2&1/4 inch catback exhaust system, Lumpy crow cam, Stage 3 shift-kited fully manulised TH-400 'box, hardened clutch plates and Pedders sportsryder suspension. As long as the Vic laws dont change i can legally drive it Its friken awesome
Ill get pics up later
