The 305 hp 383 was the standard engine in the '60 DeSoto Adventurer. This
engine had a 2-bbl carburator, while the optional 325 hp version had a
4-bbl. There was also a very rare optional ram induction motor with two
4-bbls. I think the horsepower was rated at 345, but not sure. I'll check my
literature ASAP. Until last September, we owned a '60 Adventurer coupe with
the standard 305 hp motor and it was very quick!
