Pulling the 220 horse 5.0 and dropping in a fresh 383. I'll be conservative and say it will put out 400 horse.
Right now it will do 50mph easy on a 21" prop. 55 by myself. GPS clocked.
I have a few props to try with the new engine up to 26". So how much of a gain in top speed can I expect? To be honest 50 is plenty and I doubt I'll ever find my new top speed if it's well over 60, things just start to feel a little too hairy.
383 is an aluminum head big cam 10:1 forged and balanced so on. Builder says 450 horse wouldn't be over shooting it. 425 realistic. 400 very conservative.
