If going with a tall deck (9.3) The 4 inch works fine because it corrects the rod ratio.There is a third small block rod used in the 350 H.O. and ZZ4 engines that is a 5.940-inch powdered metal (PM) rod that is every bit as strong as the original "pink" small block rods.

The longer rod gives more duration at tdc and yes you can run higher comp on them if I rember right. yes you have to use special pistons, it allows you to rev higher but I think if any thing it hurts torque.

In my opinion, if someone owns a 350 block that is a good block, and wants to build a better motor then a 350, a 383 dollar for dollar is about equal and will usually out perform a equal 350. however, if starting from sctrach, without a block, a 400 based motor is a much better choice. As for the 396.

A 406 that is strong from idle to 5500 will be hard to beat on driveability and fun. A 383 is not going to be much different as far as fun up to 5500.

A good block is still weaker in the webbing than a 350. (not as much material) 4 bolts are weaker than 2 bolts. Pros- Your not racing it, it uses the same accessories as 350 except the flywheel and balancer, to the average joe you might pull it off as a 350. Cons- Has a bad rod ratio (1.48:1).

The longer stroke should make better low end torque which should help with mileage.

The 383 small-block has become incredibly popular in the small-block Chevy market. This is especially because the cranks are virtually no more expensive than a standard stroke 350 crank. The only expense increase is in the material choice, from cast to 4340 and on up the food chain. Hell, a zero decked flat top 383 with 64cc heads is over 11:1 compression. With a 4cc dome, (the typical flat topped style dome that is about .100-.125" tall that mimics the old factory LT-1 piston for the 350), when used with a typical .041" thick gasket and a uncut block a 383 is still 11.55:1 compression.my experience with sbc vs bbc. when mildly modified, if you have say a 400" sbc (406-434) and a 400" bbc (396-427) If both engines make the same amount of hp, say a 500 hp 434 sbc and a 500 hp 427, the small block will build more torque than the big block. that contradicts most all beliefs about sbc vs bbc.FOR SBC 400, 406 MOST 383 STROKER ENGINES EXT.
