Re: Small block or Big Block

383 small block. Nice power increase with none of the extra work. FWIW, I am planning a big block swap into my 307 powered truck. But it's an auto. The big block manual trans parts are out there, but they are not commonly found and can be expensive as well as taking awhile to get. Motor mounts are expensive. Power steering pump/bracket/remote reservoir are expensive. Big blocks are expensive.

Figure $10k to do a mild big block swap and $4500 to do a 383.
