Its a 383 in the SSGT/CA. The SS/AH heads up deal has become a millionairs club bastard class with the lack of tech. The engines in some (not all before someone jumps on me) of those cars are more exotic than the pro stock engines of the Hemi Pro Stock era. The decks are cut .400 to .500 to use a lighter shorter piston. The lifter boss angles are sleved and moved along with the rocker shafts mounting for better geometry. Large diameter cams. Some with roller bearings. I still say that at least one or two run a titanium crank. OK....you can flame me but I know better about whats going on. By the way the guys with the GT/CA car are NOT the cars Im talking about.
