Some guy I met today says that his dad has a 393 in his First Gen. Camaro. What is up with that?! I didn't know GM made a 393. Could this be true, or is the guy lying. He said it was a very limited production engine. Personally, I think he's full of /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Is it a stroker, or is he referring to the original cid?

not a 383, a 393. I know a 383's a popular stroker kit. This guy must just be talkin out of his @ss.

that's what I thought, but just wanted to make sure before I tell him there is no such thing. I don't wanna be this big car know-it-all and then be outdone by some measly guy who doesn't know what the hell he's talkin about. Basically, I don't wanna look like a dumb@ss! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

The strange thing is a guy told me the same story once. At first I thought he meant 383, but he said no, 393. I then asked if it was a big block, and he wasn't sure what I meant. I'm guessing he meant 396 too, but I didn't want to argue it any further. Heck, maybe it was the same guy??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
