My '70 Impala had a 400 , I sold the Impala but I still have the 400 sb. Thought about combining a 350 with the 400 to make a 383 but I ain't never done it and it is just a thought really.

I built a 383 stroker for my ‘69 camaro.

I did it the trick way though. First we took a 2 bolt 350 block and had it machined to be a 4 bolt splayed, which is better than a regular 4 bolt. I bought a Lunati forged rotating assembly. Forged crank, forged rods. I went with the long rod version(6.0”) to be even more pimp. Dart II sportsman heads, gasket matched to rpm intake. The motor was bad ass.

My daughter was born and I had to sell the thing before I even got to put it in the camaro, which I ended up having to sell also :-(

24 yrs ago, right after seling that engine and my ‘69 SS camaro, I swore I would never ever stop growing bud so I wouldn’t have to sell my toys. Only break i’ve had is while in jail lol.

The engine was bought by an old man who put it in a chopped ‘32 that my engine builder knew, so that’s kinda cool. I spent a good 5k on the thing, sold it for 3200. What kinda bullshit it that!

It's kinda crazy. I have a 69 LT1 350 my father built to copy the engine he built for his 69 nova years ago. Forged rotating assembly @13:1 comp, big solid cam, heavily ported, late 60s, large valve, cast iron "X" racing heads with roller rockers. It cost him thousands and it still needs an intake, carb and ignition system. Now i can go buy a junkyard Chevy LS, change the oil and throw a couple hundred HP of nitrous at it, with an ignition controller, intake and carb, for around $2000 complete, and not worry about it.
