which 383 should i use dilema
« on: October 21, 2009 - 12:31:33 AM »
Ok Since i sold my bee i have 2 built engines on engine stands, one for my GC and the other was for my Bee.
I didnt give the 383 that i built for the bee to the buyer. both numbers engines were bagged
MY GC is an Auto with power steering and the engine i built for her was a little more mild that the one for the bee.
The one i built for the bee has trw forged pistons(l2315f) i think they are 9 to one, 1967 915 440 HP heads closed chamber for around 10-1, molly rings and a voodoo cam
Advertised Duration Duration @ .050 IN/EX Gross Valve lift IN/EX LSA and ICL RPM Range
268/276 226/234 .494/.513 110/106 1800-6200, balanced and blueprinted
Is this going to be too much for my auto GC?
The one i built for the GC is 10-1 hyper pistons, 906's, custom engle k58 grind recommended by Chryco( i think it was 500 or so lift cant remember)
balanced and blueprinted.
I'd rather use the more radical engine, but if it wont do well in the gc i wont
thanks

I see no reason that the Bee engine will not work , you will need a 2200 stall converter to go with it , no matter what rear gear the car has you will be above 2200 on the highway so the converter will not be slipping & building heat
