383 with heads and a cam is a good bit more than I paid to Whipple my truck. Awest that's a 454 throttle body on that first blower pic FYI.

The original poster already has the HT383 in his truck. Its just choked by the cast iron vortecs, the tiny 395' cam and stock truck intake manifold. Last time I checked heads and cam are cheaper than having to find and buy an obsolete blower that possibly needs a rebuild. An aftermarket port fuel injected intake is also cheaper than buying and adapting the marine intake needed to run the whipple.383 with heads and a cam is a good bit more than I paid to Whipple my truck.

Ultimately, the XE282 cam and the half-point bump in compression changed this 383 from an ideal towing/daily driver engine to a hot rod engine that could easily be driven anywhere with some nice bragging rights.Ultimately, the XE282 cam and the half-point bump in compression changed this 383 from an ideal towing/daily driver engine to a hot rod engine that could easily be driven anywhere with some nice bragging rights.
Anyone gotta lead on the title? It’s really going on an HT383e, which is same/same as 350 Vortec. Been looking for one of these unicorn’s for months,....and find nada. I see on our classified’s section, one’s for sale on a 454,...... but, don’t know if we can “make” it work on our 5.7’s. Thanks fellars.
YOU HAVE ONE???? For sale??? Fabing a plenum, I can do. Is it complete/everything needed to plug and PLAAAAAAY?
Thanks guys,.... and yes Sir, i’m on HPTuners/ do my own 0411 tuning (not an expert, but, not too bad),.... guys on HPTuners forum have helped me a lot. A lot of good people there.
I hear you guys on intake, heads, cam, 1.6 rockers, etc. I’ve done all that research in the past too. That Edelbrock intake did peak my interest,.... I looked at the questions (on the Summit page), one question’s answer said no, won’t work on 96+, the other question answer said it would. Ok, so, now I need to call em. Has anyone put one of these on their 96-99L31’s? Is it direct bolt on/ any fab required? I believe OlBlue did his (on HPTuners), but could be wrong.
