Default My 383 Goes back together!

Today I started assembling my 383 for the final time. I figured I would share a couple of pics!

I had one of those little "oil keepers" on your rear main cap. I kept trimming and trimming to get the pan to fit. finally just threw it in the garbage. LOL

Looks good, can't wait to see it back in action..

good luck

what is the origin of that block ? I know the casting numbers have little to do with original capacity, but its funny that its got 327 cast on each side of it !

I can't tell you what the 327 means but it's been cast into every LT1 engine that I have seen. I think it just happens to be a standard chevy size and therefore the confusion.




Here's mine. Hope you can see the 327.

Hahaha, I posted from my cellphone and wasn't sure what the pic would look like. It was originally a pic to show the dipstick tube hitting the splayed 4 bolt main cap.
