The hemi head conversion should be able to work on a 383. However, that conversion is expensive and I have heard that they arent that great. I say use the 5.7 because its already built, cheaper, lighter, and has decent horsepower.

Thanks :cheers:, i dident think those would work on a 383(uhh my friend will get on high hores now), is the motor not working as it should or is it that they break?
I will go for the 5.7 Hemi insted but its allways fun to learn new things.. :working:
