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!



buy a set of speedpro 2315's , they are CH at 1.920 , the TALLEST 383 piston available off the shelf , make sure to have the block rehoned wit ha torque plate for MAX ring seal . The weight is roughly the same as the stock cast piston , mill the block .011 to get your .004 in the hole .

It's going to cost about the same to deck the block and cut the valley end rails and intake as changing the pistons and decking the block .


sorry if someone beat me to this , i've been away on holiday

running up my post count some more .
