What is a 383 stroker motor?

A 383 stroker motor is a small-block V8 engine that has been modified to increase its displacement to 383 cubic inches, typically by using a longer stroke crankshaft with a standard 350 cubic inch block. This modification enhances the engine's power and torque output, making it popular in performance applications. The increased displacement allows for better airflow and combustion efficiency, leading to improved overall performance. It's commonly used in muscle cars and hot rods for its balance of power and drivability.
