The 396 is built to make N/A power, and the 383 is built to make power with a supercharger. The 396 would have to be reconfigured w/ lower compression and a different cam to be effective w/ a supercharger. It really comes down to apples and oranges. Some people swear by 383s, some people prefer 396s. In a N/A application I believe in the old saying that there is no substitution for cubic inches.  |
tx for the advice
