Best 383

Who makes the best 383

[TarheelRick]

Plymouth.  But if you are asking which model kit, I am in the same dilemma.  Very few of the Roadrunners and other mid-level Mopars in the local area were Hemi's or 440's.

The only one I have seen is in the'64 Dodge 330. Doesn't mean there aren't others.

The revell dart had one I believe, depending on your use you might have to change exhaust manifolds.

The 440 from the original trophy series 49 Mercury was said to be the best rendition of the Mopar Big Block..You can't really tell one from the other..Other than that the ones from the Lindberg 64 Belvedere (black car on box) or the 64 Dodge 330 sedan( turquoise on box) would be very good...Also the Revell 69 Charger(blue on box)  BTW  All GTXs came with 440s not 383s Hemi was optional..

Ricky, yes Plymouth  kit lol.   Mercury made one as I had a 1:1 '59 turnpike cruiser with one in it

You can use whatever B or RB engine you like as they look basically the same, the difference is the deck hight and between the B and RB it's 0.745 inch wich will be 0.0298 inch or 0.7569 mm in 1:25th scale, and if you shave off that ammount from the deck under the heads on a RB 413-426-440 you get your B 383.
