It can use the 915 head but the HP factor is still the same as originally listed. The 383 2V lost 25 HP and has 1.0 more compression for that same year. Yeah, it would be great to have a Chrysler in the lanes but is it do- able as a dime rocket?
I had one in 1965 in a Belvidere ll that ran F/SA at that time. 12.5 lb class in 1965. ......It was a dog and replaced it very very soon with a 426 street wedge. Much better piece.
