383 or 440?
Just getting into my first Mopar build👍 unfortunately I cannot pour all the money I want into my car, but I have a few things to start with. I have a 1977 440 and a 1970 383. Both the bottom ends in the motors are great so I can stick with stock Pistons and whatnot.
My question is what's going to be the better build for a consistent strip car? I'm putting my setup in a 1973 Plymouth scamp with 4:30 gears
Parts I have:
509 lift 289 duration cam w/lifters and matching springs
Factory 906 heads w/ 1.5 ratio roller rockers
Edelbrock street master intake w/ Holley 750 double pumper
And an msd digital 6 ignition... The rest of the Money I have will be spent on a starter battery...etc so what motor should I put together with that setup? I know the 440 had horrible compression but will it still perform better than the 383?

I defiantly would got for the 440. Already have the biggest cubes Dodge came out with and you could eventky go with better heads and have a solid beast of a motor with a can and intake that matches up. Also with a great carb slapped on it could make some great power on a budget
