finished building my 383. Runs smooth at 650 rpm, but I think it has a pretty good bark.

about 350- 375 hp and pretty flat 400lbs torque curve.
I researched for a long time for the combination and had Chris Straub design the cam specifically for my combination and application. Had a great engine balancer do that work. Just fired it up this weekend. Super smooth. Idles great. No sea trials yet. Last step of a total resto. Put in composite stringers floor and transom. Faired and painted whole boat and new interior. Took two years to complete.

Some of the parts.
Enginequest Heads 200cc and 72cc combustion chamber.

Looks really good. I love my 385ci and will never build a stock stroke 350 again. They run awesome too!

I'm hoping it will stay on the water. :laugher:
It will be interesting to see how I will have to prop it. The biggest I have is a 14x23.

It is a volvo 280. I think they are able to handle over 400, some say even more. My combo is built for 350-375hp and a flat 400lbs torque.
