You may want to also consider the GM Crate 383. It is brand new and comes with a warranty. Check out the link below.

Go to www.strokermotor.com
They built my 383. Dyno'ed at 443hp and 476lbft. When you call, ask for Dick, the owner...he's been around for quite awhile. SC |

How good does it run? How do you think 443hp runs!
![]() It hauls ass! ![]() I've got more cam in it than the ones listed for sale. Was in my '72 Sprint I sold 2 years ago. I pulled it and replaced it with a crate 350 before I sold the Sprint. No way I was selling the 383. It's been sitting on my shop floor since then. It's going in Project Daisycutter with a dual quad Offy intake, twin 500 cfm Edelbrocks, etc, etc. I'll lose some horsepower with the dual quads vs. the Performer RPM/750cfm it has on it now, but duals just look too cool. I'll have some pics of it soon as the intake will be back from the powdercoaters soon. SC
