370ci. Shorter stroke is better for boost.

Other than a smaller stroke being better for boosted applications....

A 370ci Iron block will be much stronger and have more material between cylinders vs. a Iron 383ci, which is great for boosted applications. 370 will last longer (shorter stroke), rev higher (shorter stroke)....starting to see a pattern here, lol.

A 370 also has a larger bore size which = more cylinder head choices.
