Yeah, a 383 still is a 350 on the outside. A cool swap would be like an LT1, or even just a TPI. Something that isn't the standard. An oldschool 283 would be sweet. Or go crazy and put a nailhead in it..

or he could just put a standard 350 in it and say its a 383... no one would everr know.. sneeky sneeky

and he would save alot of money!!! i think you can buy a crate 350 for the price i paid in just machine work.........

or go the distance and put a flathead in there...that would be sweeeet

i don't even know what a nailhead or flathead are. What i really want to do is put a 427 in there but that's a freakin pipe dream.

just go LS1

flathead is an old ford v8...very hard to find but would definately be differant

My buddy has a 350 in a 2nd gen with a 3.5" BD The headers are a bitch with the steering shaft and you will need tubular upper arms for sure.

he also has a small cowl to clear. he had to use the ugly triangle Enelbrock air cleaner cuz a 10" round would hit the cowl.

A TPI would fit with a stock hood as it is not as tall as a carb setup.

i dont see what the big deal is, a flathead is a weak out dated motor......
