After Too many months my custom 383 stroker est. 500+ hp engine is done. I just paid the bill tonight and it is off to the garage to be installed along with the rest of the all new and improved drive train! Here is my build sheet direct from the performance shop! I have digital pictures from the shop of the engine but my service can not handle the large pictures they sent me ( to get all the details is the reason for the size) If anyone can post them or just want me to email them to you they are on the way at your request!

Thanks VETDRMS!!! :seeya

 

Sounds like a great engine. What are the specs on the cam? What are you using for induction, stock? Did you increase the injector size? I LOVE THE HOOD!

Never mind.

Sorry about the delay on these, but here are the pictures:





:cool: :cool: :cheers:

 

Oh you caught that on the intake. Here are the specs for the cam.

Duration @.050 - 214/220
Lift w/1.5RRs - .452/.465
Lift w/1.6RRs - .482/.496

The engine uses 30 pound injectors.
Thanks! :seeya

 

Thanks again VETDRMS!!!!!! :cheers:

 

It's to bad that shops still use the old externally balanced short rod mentality:(

When for about the same price they could build the motor internally balanced and not have to screw around with heavy dampers and flex plates.

 

I just have to ask, how do they expect 500+ hp with that intake setup? It looks like a set of large tube runners which would never make that much power from what I've seen in the past.

:confused:

Thanks!

 

Hey Scorp, Once installed and dynoed by the shop I will post the results! We will see :)

 

I think the real limitation is the small cam. The heads and improved TPI might be good choices to make midrange power.

But this is a very mild duration and very low lift for a roller cam

Duration @.050 - 214/220
Lift w/1.5RRs - .452/.465
Lift w/1.6RRs - .482/.496

 

I think the builder went with this cam because I told him I wanted this engine to last a long time. He felt if he went with something more aggressive it would shorten the life of the engine.

 

Your builder is very correct. High HP and run fine and last along time should not be used in the same sentence. If your's makes only in the low 400's be happy!:) It's much more powerfull than stock. 383's just beat up 350's

 

That is pretty much what I asked for before he built it gkull! To have fun but to last a long time! As long as I can scare myself I will be happy! :yesnod:
