"GRUMPY will a set of vortec heads allow me to maximize the power potential of a 10:1 compression 383 sbc?"


VORTEC HEADS
if your wondering if theres a way to determine if the cylinder heads you have or are looking at are vortec heads,
yes pull the valve cover and get the casting number
and look at the end of the heads casting markings

heres a thread you might want to read thru as it provides a good deal of details on building an engine that would provide impressive power levels over the mid and upper mid range without sacrificing much on the lower rpms, THE OEM 170cc VORTEC heads are designed to provide max torque on a 350 displacement engine that will rarely exceed 5000 rpm.
