63 project
I have just finished the cars numbers matching engine and am interested in a 383 stroker with fuel injection.
I sold an earlier model (2002) 383 fastburn because it was worth more selling it intact then modding it for TPI.
I would eventually like to add a turbo or two
so I need some advice on compression ratios and what to look for in bottom end components.
I am old school so recognize some of the old school names but some of these new companies and their rotating assemblies, I am not sure of?
So if one was building a mid range 383 with a strong bottom end. What would people recommend.
Next question
I am not stuck on a 383, I see some 431s or 400s that also seem rather tantalizing. My greatest concern with a Big Block is the extra weight and the fact I intend on keeping the drum brakes.
Any way, any help would be appreciated. I have been looking at TPI units and am already lost
