I will have the blocked decked. One concern now is the cam selection because I'm keeping the 3.23's for now, but will soon be switching to the 3.91's or even 3.73's.




The term you need to use when speaking to your machist is Zero Deck the Pistons.. If you just tell him to deck the block he'll take a light pass to true the gasket surface, he needs to acurately know what your looking for...

As you already mentioned the camshaft selection is very important, I would suggest a Crower 271HDP it sfecs out with 222/234 duration .050 .486/.496 lift & 112 centers It's a good cam for a 383, I've got two friends running them & I plan to put one in my 383 next time I tear into it...
