Re: Need Some Engine Advice - 383 Stroker

One of my favorite YouTube series is called "Engine Masters" produced by the guys from Hot Rod. They talk a lot about the philosophy and do real dyno tests with real hardware. Single-plane, dual-plane, big heads, small heads, big cams, small cams, and so on. Lots of types of engines, but a good slug of Chevy small block testing in the mix. It's worth your while to watch a few episodes. I've watched them all -- and the Chevy ones multiple times. Lots of great content.

It sounds like a really fun motor, BTW, but I totally understand your desire to tame it. I've gone extreme myself in the past and am now focusing more on a "stock" Corvette version of the 1970 small block for my C10.
