Would love to put a 383 in my '86 vette, what do you think about this one from the General?

You won't get the advertised horsepower once you slap your TPI accessories on this motor. In addition, you'll need the Scoggin Dickey intake base, or the TPIS mini-ram II which is compatible with the fast burn heads. Not sure how well that cam would work with the MR though.

You may want to consider rebuilding your current motor over this particular one.

What are your power goals and how much do you want to spend? Can you do some or all of your own work?
