The early 383 is a good combo for stock due to the HP factor being reduced and it hasent been thrashed to death yet. . If you went to a later year I would go to a 1971 version. I ran one of these back in 1971 in a new Dodge Challenger like the old Dave Boertman/Rod Shop car. The very first pass I made on it was 4 tenths under the record at 75 & 80 Drayway in the old 7 inch tire days. It has better heads, cam, etc. Neither combo has valve reliefs in the piston so piston to valve clearence can get a little touchy there. There is a current killer INDY class winner 71 Challenger running today but I dont recall the guys name.
