383 questions
I want to put together a 383. Lunati quoted me a price of $3000 for crank, rods, pistons, bearings, HV oil pump, and dampener. Is this a good deal seems kindof pricey to me but what do you guys think?? Also who else makes a good bottom end? I am looking for the whole rotating assy like whats listed above. TIA

Sounds cheap! If all goes right, I'll being sending my car to LPE this fall/winter for a 383 stroker.
Custom forged aluminum pistons - 11.0:1 compression ratio
Custom forged steel crankshaft - 3.750" stroke
Billet steel connecting rods - 5.850" length
File fit plasma moly piston rings
Computer balanced rotating assembly
CNC ported cylinder heads & hand ported intake manifold
Stainless steel one piece valves - 2.00" intake /1.56" exhaust
Comp Cams Stainless steel full roller rocker arms - 1.6 : 1 ratio
Heavy duty double valve springs
Titanium valve spring retainers
Custom designed hydraulic roller camshaft
58 mm billet aluminum throttle body with Lingenfelter Performance Engineering engraved throttle body cover
Borla 304 stainless steel exhaust system
383 CID LT4 M/T 450 BHP / 430 lbs-ft of torque $14,320.00
I'm choosing this set up because it's everything, skimping on nothing, and has a 24,000 mile warranty!
From what I've read, this is good for a 10.9x quarter @ 124.

If so , that's a really good price considering it a lingy. Add $1000 for tax, it's still a good deal compared to other tuners because people really respect john's skills as a tuner.

Re: 383 questions (Ezgoin721)
Thats jsut it, I dont want cheap. I have seen kits with basically the seem setup for nearly $1000 less. Just wondering from the people with 383's who they went with and what kindof expierence they have had and the average price they paid. I know its not cheap nor do I want to put low-quality in my car. Just looking for a little more options. :jester

Re: 383 questions (93Zeus)
i got mine from Scoggin Dickey with following components:
This short block features a race prepped LT1 block with Milodon steel
splayed center main caps. It also comes with a Lunati 4340 forged
crankshaft, Lunati Pro Mod 5.850 rods, SRP forged flat top pistons, JE file-fit
rings, Federal mogul race bearings, and is internally balanced.
I've been really happy with mine except for the accel injectors.
