You could build a 383 your self and save some coin...there is just no warranty.If you build it right,there shouldn't be any problems for a long time anyway.If it was me,I'd get some engine overhauling books,pick up the right tools and build it myself...I just rebuilt the motor for mine and it's going in tonight

Unless I was needing a engine quickly,then building it myself would be the way to go.
