Im turning my 350 into a 383 at the end of december.
I was thinking about Dart Iron heads with 64cc chambers. For the possibility of supercharging later on would 64 cc heads be to small?
Also, which cam should I go with until i supercharge it? Id like something real lopey that would give me good mid and low range power.
If anyone wants to just list the internals on their 383 that would be great to!
thanks fellas

Are you planning on tearing it down and doing a piston swap before you supercharge it? If not, that may be the deciding factor on what kind of piston/head combo you're going to run.
Also, what kind of supercharger are you planning on using and what kind of boost? Carb'd or EFI w/ supercharger. What kind of power do you want N/A? and w/ the charger?
I can't really help you aon the parts selections, as I'm a rookie, but if you answer these questions, it will make it easier for the experienced guys here to recommend parts that will fit the bill.
Good luck.

Enrique's questions are right on. One thing I wanted to add though, real lopey usually =tighter LSA tighter LSA=loss of power with a supercharger. It doesn't hold the boost with the overlap of that "real lopey" cam.
IMHO, if your going to supercharger your motor, then you're better off doing it from the getgo, instead of later on. Reason being that you are C/R limited and/or boost limited. If you run "higher then normal" C/R, then you will not be able to generate much boost. When superchargering, it is best to run between 7.5-8.5:1 C/R. Unless your going to run an inter/after cooler, then you *might* be able to get away with running no more then 9.5:1 C/R, but again, you will still be boost limited.
Another thing is, what is it's main purpose going to be? Is it going to be a track only car? Street/strip? Daily driven? Just for show? When you figure out what it is going to be, then you'll know what to expect and look for in parts.
