Which setup do you think is best?

1. SBC 350 ( or 355 )

2. SBC 383 Stroker. ( Torque monster )

3. SBC 400

4. SBC 377 ( destrocked 400 ) Nice RPM's for the turbo to pull.

I am going to be running a Master Power GT-45 with complete forged internals on which ever setup I decide on. I also will be running AFR 220cc SP heads. I like the 377 since it will have a nice rpm range that the heads will like, but at the same time I keep thinking about the 355 just to keep it simple. This setup will be going in a light 87 mustang coupe with a built 3 spd th400. Please give me your imput on what you think is best and yes it will only be a weeknd/track car. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I've wonder aloud that same thing.


i like the sound of a 377 for the same reason you posted but most people say why give up the cubes when there already there. and its hard to argue with that

 

377&383 are a nice balance of torque and higher rpms

 

What kind of RPM's can you turn on a 383?

 

well depends on the entire set up, but for the most part I believe around 500rpm(?) less than a 350 due to the longer stroke

 

the 377 is built off a 400 so its different than a 383

 

yes it's a destroked 400 correct? 350 crank I'm guessing, but with the shorter stroke it should make higher reving than a basic 400

 

Go with the one with the biggest bore and use a shorter than 6" rod.

carbed or efi?

 

built ford tuff with chevy stuff

 

lol My dad has a 383 Stroker. His Racing shift point is 7200 RPM
