406 sbc vs 383.

The advantage of mopar 383/400 vs 383/408 stroker would be bigger bore size for better breathing and better rod ratios for less friction (hp/wear). Plus can be taking up to a way higher powerband (hp) if wanting to over stroker small block. The only real advantage to the small block strokers is size and weight if you care about that.There were two SBC "Street Dominators" the 300-36, aka the "Contender" Z-28 clone, and the original 300-1 single plane. Years ago, Hot Rod did a dyno test comparing the Z-28 intake, the Perf. Rpm, and the 300-36, they were so close, the differences (3-4 hp total spread between the three) were within what I consider the expected pull-to-pull ...The LS ended up costing about $1400 more than the 383, but it made significantly more power.

A 350, 355, 383, or a 400. Should I build a high reving 355. I saw a article about a 400 bored over, 327 or 350 rods, and custom pistons that made above 400 hp & torque on the dyno. Or, should I go for cubic inches and build the 400 small block, with the ever popular controversy of the over-heating problem.

when you calculate all the parts required to build a reliable 500hp-600hp SBC , then calculate the cost of building a similar power level in a BBC that in many cases can be built with more easily sourced, (like a stock 454 BBC vs a expensively modified 406 SBC)or even modified stock BBC components, you'll rapidly see why Id suggest building a BBC ...

In looking at the BBC thread those LS5 intake and Performer intake all was talking about 5000 to 5500 range.

Best ET 10.06 in the same car after repeated attempts to best the small block including jet changes, converter changes and two different intakes(?). The sbc wins, hands down.
