[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 108706, member: 483"] I think propane exhaust smells better than gas exhaust. I've come to like the smell of propane exhaust anyway. It smells fresh, like something you'de want in the atmosphere, not sharp and polluting. :) How much power are you looking at with the 383? I've seen 300hp 383s and 500 hp 383s. I have a very different view of reliability than you guys up there tend to have. You're so close to the trails that breaking is no big deal. But the closest trail to me is 6 hours away and I damn sure ain't going that far to break and wrench in the mud all weekend. Thus, I run the parts that will allow me to endure (for the most part) the level of abuse that I need to have fun and the additional weight of said parts is no big deal. But I wouldn't think that a mild 383 is going to give you so much more power than a stock 350 that you're suddenly going to start breaking parts left and right, up and down. I say do it and if **** breaks it "justifies the upgrade" as Jimmy would say. It's only money, right? You seem to have plenty of it. ;) That being said, I don't know that I would put an old-school Gen I engine in anything anymore. If all you're looking for is mild 383 power you can easily get that out of a stock 6.0 and those things are going pretty cheap these days and are very reliable with said power and someday if you really wanted to step up they can be modified for insane power. I think you could put a 6.0 in for cheaper than you could put performance parts in a 350 block to make a fuel injected 383. J. J. [/QUOTE]
