Definately reinforces why my cheap LQ9 build will end up in a car and when the 5.7 Vortec in my Express dies, will have a 383 in its place. Nice top-end HP, NO guts down low. Also CHEAP can't be understated enough. I picked up a LM7 longblock from an 02 Suburban for $100 and the engine itself is near immaculate after I stripped off a slightly charred intake manifold and coils.
