383
hello
Now I done it, I took a ride in a 383 1991 vette that runs 11s :cry
So this winter im going to 383 my block.
Where should I look for 383 kits that are good!
This is the combo in mind.
CC 306 cam
Miniram
1,6rrs
headers
AFR 210 heads
383
All controlled by a AUTRONIC fuel and spark system. With wideband auto tune :D .
What need to be done to the block?
Should I put in new cam bearings?
Is the CC306 to small?
I hope you can share some good places to shop :)
Regards

Re: 383 (devilfish)
Id have the mains splayed at least, new bearings, balanced/blueprinted. That tends to get expensive, but if you want a good engine, do it right the first time.
CC306 too small? NO :reddevil

Re: 383 (devilfish)
Be ready to spend some money. Usually, you always finish paying more than what you expeted. I have seen some projects go up to $10-15K on just the engine (including head porting).
Do a lot of research, and don't change plans half-way (change = $$$lost).
The cc306 is a good cam, but rember that you can always go with a custom cam according to your application (Heads flow #s, dailydriver/trailer-queen, blower/turbo/nitrous)
you can also get a crateengine ready to go from; http://www.cmotorsports.com/
(I don't have any personal experience with them though)
good luck

Re: 383 (devilfish)
ohh... I might go with a cc306 on my car. My plans are a daily drive 355ci (I will be spraying a 250shot at the track with a separate fuel system for the my n2o setup)
Don't expect to have the same wild feel of a cc306 cam in a 350ci than in a 383 (big cubes tend to eat cams)
