406 sbc vs 383.

I have standard dished pistons in a GM crate 350, so it limited the compression ratio I could achieve. I also have 4.10 gears, TH350 and stock 31" tires.Having recently spent an arm and a leg building a stout small block 383 stroker I would have to agree with you analysis. Problem was two fold. First sourcing a 400 block that had good wall clearance and strength for boring. These blocks have been widely criticised for poor tolerances and over heating.The advantage of mopar 383/400 vs 383/408 stroker would be bigger bore size for better breathing and better rod ratios for less friction (hp/wear). Plus can be taking up to a way higher powerband (hp) if wanting to over stroker small block. The only real advantage to the small block strokers is size and weight if you care about that.more displacement tends to result in more torque and as a result potentially more power. if a 302 makes 1.5 hp per cubic inch, thats roughly 450 hp. if a 383 only makes 1.3 hp cubic inch, thats roughly 500 hp. Id also point out that with current after market components, the 383-406 can make exceptional power.

I have illustrated the crank angles and relative piston positions of today's most popular racing engine, the 3.48" stroke small block 350 V8 Chevy in standard 5.7", 6.00", 6.125" and 6.250" long rod lengths in 5 degree increments.Step 01:- Installing a Crankshaft. First of all, we have to purchase a 383 stroker crankshaft, 10.5:1 piston set, and rod. We have to note that adding more stroke to our engine can raise our compression ratio. The 383 stroker crankshaft became more popular than the 400 despite the larger bore.

The 383 is meant to be a higher compression engine, using either the 5.7" or 6.0" rods. 400 uses a 5.5" rod. The less oversquare you have in an engine, the more torque that's produced. (Oversquare is bore vs. stroker, for instance 4.030 x 3.750 (383) vs 4.125 x 3.750 (400) vs 4.000 x 4.380 (350), etc) 400 heads also have steam holes in between ...

ALTHOUGH i had a 355 with a big solid lift cam, and brodix 200race rite heads that was 11.5-1. changed the bottom end to a 383, dropped the compression to 8.5-1 (for procharger) and went to solid roller. the 383 would KILL the 355 motor for motor. in other words the low compression 383 would kill the higher compression 355. both can run well.

The fully dressed 383 fits the bill. the 406 is a better engine with the additional cost of the accessories add at least another $1000 -$1500. Plus another $700-$800 if the cam is swapped to a roller. 69 SS396 Cortez Silver ( SOLD) 69 Pro Tour - LS3/T56 (SOLD) 69 Pro Tour - LS7/T56 (SOLD) Like.

On the BBC you can make 900+ HP with conventional BBC heads that are readily available. For the SBC to make 800+ you are going to have to spend a significant amount on the heads/cam/intake to get there.On the other hand, if the small block were really built to make 550 hp, mileage may not be too different. I just had a 406 built that I hope will be around 550hp. I will list the parts below. Keep in mind that I will be really happy with 550 hp.

You don't know what you've got til it's gone.you would have about 10.5:1 with a 350 but closer to 11.4:1 with a 383, theres 43.75 cubic inches of volume in a 350s cylinder and 47.8 cubic inches of volume in a 383s cylinder. it should be rather obvious that increasing the compression changes the fuel octane requirements.my experience with sbc vs bbc. when mildly modified, if you have say a 400" sbc (406-434) and a 400" bbc (396-427) If both engines make the same amount of hp, say a 500 hp 434 sbc and a 500 hp 427, the small block will build more torque than the big block. that contradicts most all beliefs about sbc vs bbc.SBC: 3.75 vs. 3.85 vs. 4.00 stroke. I'm in the process of building / buying a SBC 400 based short block. Either a "bow tie" 421 from Skip White Performance or a Dart 427 from Terry Rosebush Motorsports. The 421 has a 3.85 stroke, the 427 has a 4.00 stroke. Is there any disadvantage to a 4.00 stroke in a SBC?My car is currently set up for a sbc. I realize the cost will be about $1,500 - $2,000 more if I go with the 454. I have a list of all the parts I need to convert to a bbc (frame mounts, headers etc...).

I just want a nice street motor, not looking to race.Sure you can build them "cheap", I did up a 406 for 1500.00 top too bottom, but in the end i was disappointed, Any decent engine these days will not be cheap IF you want power out of it & want it to last.

The V8 engine is a variation of the in-line four and has eight cylinders. A 355 stroker is a type of V8 engine that has been stroked to have an extra 3/16 inch in length.

You could also get 10% more torque available at normal driving speeds by putting a 10% higher numerical rear gear in the back. Like going from a 3.36 to a 3.70.
