383 roller vs LS 5.3 genIII roller
:scratch: ok my race friends here is what i'm running into. I read all these article on here and racing magazines, now i want to know what would make a better engine for street/strip?

Re: 355 build
Thanks guys for all the help and info. I've read articles about people building the newer 5.3L chevy 327. Has any of u guys built one or I was wondering the difference between the 5.3 or going old school with the 355 or 383? I know the newer engines are aluminum and roller. So what's ya'lls opinion?

Re: 383 stroker ???
I bought a set of 092 vortec heads 64cc for $300. Intake for it is $187. U can buy a complete kit thru national auto parts. I'm gonna run a 750 Carb w/ 284 or 292 cam, and i'm on a low budget build also!! Go to hotrod mag, they have an artical junk yard build. Low budget build under $2000.
