I may pick up an old 383,slap my cam and heads to it and race Sportsman et...Leigh....Me think this year the Dart will beat me to the track!! Sorry to hear the bad news.. But you may want to rethink the 383 deal, built properly you will wonder why you ran RB stuff in the first place...

VernMotor master Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 7,348 Mt.Vernon ,Ohio	Well I look at it some more tonight,,No water/anitfreeze in the oil.. I going to put the trans in so I can crank it over with the starter and see what come out of this spark plug hole. do a leak down . blow some air in that hole and see just how bad it is. I might give the block seal a try..or take the head off and look in there..Ted If you need anything let Me know I got lots of blocks..I got almost a spare motor here. would have to buy some parts..
