Building a 383 stroker
Hello everyone,
Does the "short block a 350CI L48 is a good basis to achieve a" 383 stroker "performance? (To get a lot of" Torque ")
If this is not the case, what "short block" is best?
Thank you,
david

Should use a 4 bolt block if building a 383. You can find them at your local machine shop, junk yard, Craigs list ect. If your under 450hp you can use a Scatt 9000 rotating assembly, if your going to run it hard get a forged assembly.

I bought this block (http://www.sdpc2000.com/details/gm-p...parts/10066034) in 2005 took to the machine shop to check it out with the pistons to check the wall clearearence and they said it was perfect and also had a very nice hone onit. All I had to do was install the oil plugs and dowls in, clearence it for the 383 crank and rods, run it thru a washer then I put it togeather.
