Yep. The 915 is legal for any of the 66' 383's, but you'll need to run the smaller 1.6 exhaust valve. It's been said valve to piston clearance on the stocker 383's can either limit camshaft options or you'll need to drop the compression. That's what I've picked up in the pits. I will find out for myself when I start assembly of my 69' 383 in a couple of months. The 69' engine is a little tighter than your 66'.

There's not much camshaft lift in those 66' 383's either. Super Stock may be a better option for that engine. Don Little is having some success with a SS 383, but then again it's Don Little.
