melfice_mx Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) I currentely have stock sbc 350 engine with Vortec heads upgraded for more lift and using XH262H cam,Holley 650 DP mechanical secundaries, headers, RPM performer manifold, MSD 6al,700r4 with 2800 stall etc.. car is running 'ok' but looking for more kick and decent times at track.. I plan on building 383 stroker and was wondering if anyone has experience with kit below and ortec heads.. Would new cam be recommended? http://www.ebay.com/itm/SBC-CHEVY-383-STROKER-KIT-SCAT-CRANK-RODS-040-FORGED-FLAT-TOP-PISTONS-2PC-RMS-/331231670752?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d1ef231e0&vxp=mtr Thanks Edited December 9, 2014 by melfice_mx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skirkland1980 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I would use the cam that makes the best lite end t torque. Vortec heads on a 383 isn't going to make a ton of power in higher revs. So aim to get the most torque you can. It'll pull super hard up to about 5500 rpm. And since you're running a 700r4 I'm guessing you like to cruise. The overdrive will be useless if you kill your low end torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melfice_mx Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 What heads would you recommend without going crazy on price? and keeping vortec style manifold if possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skirkland1980 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 You can use the vortec heads 262h cam or even 272h. Just don't expect it to make a lot of power over 5500. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It'll make a heap of torque and will pull hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
