Re: 383 build up (progress pics)
Wow this is like almost my exact motor, I got the 383 stroker, I got the same Carb. Im not sure what other performance parts you got but you should be able to rack up the number of ponies, My 383 will be pumping 500+ ponies

Re: 383 build up (progress pics)
Not to burst you bubble but you will be hard pressed to get 325 ponies from a mild built 383.

Re: 383 build up (progress pics)
Same thing going on here. Heads are cast iron 74cc open chamber, intake punched out to 2.02 Crane roller cam and rockers 1.6 intake arms, performer air gap, carter AFB 750 MSD ignition, Hedman long tube 1 5/8 headers.
I was told to expect 1 hp per cu in. and 400 ft lbs torque. That info comes from pro builder with dyno in his shop and experience building many a 383. Anyway, plenty of power. |

Re: 383 build up (progress pics)
Looks good. My motor is a lot like yours too, same pistons its a stroker holley 650 double pumper, Edelbrock Performer. With those heads and it being a stroker you'll easily get 350hp 375 if you set it up right (match cam to motors perf. range, curve distributor to perf. range etc...) The only thing i see a slight problem with is the air gap, there a good intake........on a racecar. An intake like that is made to run from like 4,000 to 10,000, thats where it works. A stroker is overevved at 6500, they like 2700-5400 approximately. Thats why i got the performer its rated at idle-5000. Its your motor, im just giving my $.02

Re: 383 build up (progress pics)
What machine work had to be done to the block to except the crank? I've read somewhere that you have to grind down on the rods at the bolt cap bosses to clear the cam. Is this true? I'm thinking on building a 383.

Re: 383 build up (progress pics)
When I read this I was concerned, but then I checked your profile and see that you are 16 years old. You can go ahead and believe in fairy tales for a while yet.

Re: 383 build up (progress pics)
It would not surprise me. I have heard about every horsepower number under the sun come up for the stroker motors. I believe what the dyno kicks out. And it will have to be one hell of a motor to get 500 hp. Not saying it can't be done but lots of money to do it and we're talking street motors without nitrous.

Re: 383 build up (progress pics)
Cool,I'm building up a 383 stroker bored .030 over,although it's going in a 78 Camaro. I started to use the same timing chain cover as your's but the engine builder needed to put a cam button on the cover so I had to go with one of his. I did have the the engine painted Chevy orange(best color in the world to me!) and with the aluminum Vortec-style heads,black valve covers and breather with Chevy writing and the bowtie,it looks awesome! And the builder told me a solid 475 horses to the wheel if I use a 350 trans like I plan on doing.
