Well, the short block was already rebuilt when I got it in trade. A real 70 HP 383 thats .040 over. I nice rebuild with receipts, forged pistons, etc. But not balanced or anything.

If it cost 3-5k to get the motor to purestock specs, it may be just as fun and cheaper to do build basically as stock appearing and have fun at the local track.

I'm just now getting started and want to get a feel for what is needed since I've never really checked into it this deep and havn't dragged raced before, but always wanted too.

Thanks for all the input!
