Subject: Re: Dreaming of a new engine by Durango_Boy on 2011/4/22 17:30:11 The difference between the 350 and the 383 is the rotating assembly. Do you know which bearing is spun? Rod or main? If a rod bearing spun, the rod and crank is going to need work / replaced. If a main bearing spun it'll need to be line bored and have over sized main bearings installed. If you have a limited budget, I would pass on that project. The machine shop labor is going to out cost what your parts will amount to, but both together will be more than I think you're ready for. It costs just about as much to rebuild a 383 as it does a 350 assuming you are replacing the rotating assembly anyway. If I were you, and wanted a 383, I would find a good donor block that's already been machined, and buy your rotating stock. Build your own stroker. |
