GM's 383 stroker rods
The 383 thread got me thinking.
GM made a custom
stroker rod for their
383 crate engines .
Which use a standard bore but a 3.80 stroke, rather than a .030 overbore and a 3.75 stroke. Looks like they went after the 383 name.
So anyone using the GM stroker rods? Seems a nice way to get a 3.80 stroke w/o having to go to a reduced base circle camshaft.

You don't need a reduced base circle camshaft for either a 3.75" stroke or a 3.80" stroke.
RACE ON!!!

Hmmmmm I have been told that the moon is made out of green cheese. If you can't figure it out, then definitely, buy a reduced base circle camshaft.
