New Engine for OLD TRUCK - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**chevy71super** · 02-13-2011, 10:44 AM

The motor is a 383 stroker with cast iron vortec heads with 2.02 valves, roller rockers, etc. The compression is 8.8 to 1 so I should be able to run 5 to 6 pounds of boost. Blower is Edelbrock with a matched 850 carb. I bought the blower set up from Jegs. I was surfing their site and came across it. The price was exactly $1,000 less than I normally see them at. I jumped on it. (The price is back up so they must have realized their mistake.) Still need a few pieces to complete - gas lines, accessory brackets, etc. Its going into the truck in the back ground. Hoping to have it in by July.
