With the big block idea smashed( confirmed my opinion as well), what do you guys feel is the best way to go? 383 strokers, or 377 destroked small blocks? On the drag strip I prefer the 383 from personal experience, but I hear the 377 has advantages on the water. Thanks for the input!

My Stinger is an 83 model. I plan to do an entire restoration with a more modern look. I need a line on where to buy some drop down bolster seats for the front, and a few trim pieces as well.

Thanks
Put a healthy set of sbc's in it. They will run better then decent big blocks will in the boat..
