65 Dodge Stock Combo?

340Dart · 04-20-2010, 11:11 AM

I am thinking of building a 65 Coronet 440 2 dr hardtop into a 4spd stocker. Anyone have experience with the 383 330hp and/or 426 365hp Street Wedge combo? Both engines are factored down: 280hp and 300hp. I am thinking the 383 might be a better combo than the 426, especially with a 4spd. Also 383 parts are probably alot more common.
Only a slight compression difference between the two engines, heads, cam, carb all seem to be the same. Looks like this combo would fall into I/S - K/S.
Thanks
