Thanks for the offer on the 383. But one of my car buddies owns a engine machine shop and we were bench racing about building a 396 SBC kind of like what Blue Print has.
I'm really leaning towards a 6.0 iron block stroked to 408. L92/LS3 heads. Forged rods and pistons.
Rear end wise I would keep the 8.5" with welded axle tubes, Tru Trac and 30 spline axles.
