Hi everyone.
I’m looking at top end kits and would like some recommendations please.
I’m looking for a kit with the following.
Cam
Timing Chain
Heads
Intake

So basically a full top end kit.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Eric

Nothing specific, just want a bit more pep in the step out of this stock 190HP engine.

Dart
Trick Flow
Edelbrock and others make pretty decent kits

Try and avoid the offshore stuff, you get what you pay for here.

Same thoughts as you Eric. My '73 L48 needed changing too.
I was lucky. Have a very good friend who had a '76 C-10 Block (4-bolt Main) that she didn't want to move with her hubby and all to Colorado, but she really knew I wanted to make a 383 out of it so she gave it to me. Bought a balanced kit from White Bros. Scat Crank, Probe Pistons that had the craziest pin holders I ever saw, not sure offhand who made the rods but they were radical too. MCT Street Cam, Dart Heads, Edelbrock Performer, 2.5 inch X-over exhaust installed. Just added an EFI system by FiTech that puts the Rochester to shame. She GOs now Eric. Currently changing out the TH400 for an M20. Kinda never-ending. But it's sorta therapy for my motor-head too.
But I had the time, space, and resources to do all this. If you do too Eric, I suggest you go for it. Was sure worth it to me.
Hope the names help.

Steve
