He ended up at about 245-255 HP, so would assume about a 300 net going through a 5 speed.
He just knew it was going to be 450-500 hp and was pretty pissed, his mistake was listening to his friends guessing HP.

his motor is totally different, sure its a sbc but not even in the same year range. anything below i want to say 87 ? will be different from mine

and a 383 and 355 have the same bore which is .30 over but the difference is the 383 has the stroke of a 400 sbc

How exactly is a late 70s small block totally different than a late 80s small block?

I love it when a total noob comes here and lectures the people who are attempting to lend a hand.

Do yourself a favor and shut up and listen. Once you've been doing this for a year- or forty- THEN you get do some lecturing. Maybe.

BTW, you are TOTALLY wrong in your statement I quoted above.

383 uses the 400 crank and yes there is 383 that are bored and some are 383 that are not bored

S10mannn, I suspect when cobalt said you're totally wrong he was referring to your statement that 355's and 383's are both .30 overbore, when in fact they are both .030 overbore. We just wish we could overbore our 350's by .30.
