UT Complete 1968 396 and 383 stroker shortblock - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Heavy Evy · 06-14-2011, 10:33 PM

Bear with me as this is my first time selling something on this forum. No pm's about the motors. Only ask quetions in this thread please. Shipping would cost a fortune on these and I'm not really not sure who I would use to do it. I have two motor's for sale. One complete big block 396 from intake to pan even has the orginal delco coil also has motor mounts alternator and powersteering brackets. This is a virgin block and is all together it spins freely but I would strongly recomend a rebuild. I'll take $500 firm for it 396 sold locally!. 383 shortblock I've had a for a few years and messed around with is now collecting dust in my garage. The block is a seasoned early 70's 350 four bolt main bored .40 over so technically 385 cubic inches one of the head bolts has been helicoiled. The crank is a steel eagle with gm rods and sealed power pistons, this set up is also balanced. Pete jackson noisy gear drive and a good size 292 duration cam also has oil pan and flexplate for auto trans. I have maybe put 3000 miles on this engine since I built it. Although this motor ran I would take it to a machine shop to get checked out before you do anything with it. The 383 with a smaller cam got my 5000 pound C20 to run 16.2's in the 1/4 mile with 3.54 gears. I'm asking $500 for it. I wanted to build the 396 for my 71 but work is slow and I could really use the cash. Let me know what's up guy's.

Thanks, Evan

The block number is pictured but the partial vin and other numbers on the front are machined off it is 4 bolt main. 10 to 1 flattop piston. Cam is 292 duration and .488 lift. Pete Jackson noisy geardrive. high volume oil pump etc.

dave666693 · 06-16-2011, 12:35 AM

why do you think a shop should look at it? Do you suspect something is wrong?

Heavy Evy · 06-16-2011, 01:04 AM

no it ran fine. I just don't want you to put it together and have a surprise be cause I've had that happen to me.

dave666693 · 06-16-2011, 01:11 AM

I have been looking for a reason to take a road trip. Probably wouldn't be able to get there until early July. Would you hold it that long with a down payment?

Heavy Evy · 06-16-2011, 01:15 AM

Not a problem if you are serious then its yours. I would rather sell to a fellow 67/72 lover. How far are you from Seattle? I visit there often.

dave666693 · 06-16-2011, 01:25 AM

just north of Tacoma. Do you want to deliver?

dave666693 · 06-16-2011, 01:28 AM

How many hours is it to Reno from there?

Heavy Evy · 06-16-2011, 01:30 AM

I wont be up there till september for a concert and I'm not sure if im driving or flying yet. I love the country up there I just need to relocate.

Heavy Evy · 06-16-2011, 01:30 AM

Reno Is about 10-12 hours if I remember right

dave666693 · 06-16-2011, 01:36 AM

Let me look at the map and I will give you a definate answer tomorrow. Would we be able to load it in my SUV?

Heavy Evy · 06-16-2011, 01:39 AM

I can load it in anything man no worries

dave666693 · 06-16-2011, 10:50 PM

After a day to think about it and looking at the expense to get it, I am going to pass. Thanks

Heavy Evy · 06-16-2011, 11:16 PM
