I've got a 1970 model 383 that i took apart to replace the rear main seal. When i had it apart i noticed the main bearings where pretty worn.
here is the thread for that
https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=3#Post7103490The connecting rod bearings were not nearly as bad, and i'm deciding what to do.
The .040 cylinder bores look pretty good, and for the most part i'm just thinking about turning the crank, and installed new main and rod bearings to get the engine going again.
I have 906 heads, and i don't know if the block or heads have been cut at all.
I found a set of trw L2315 pistons for sale on craigslist that i could get for $200 brand new in box. Since there is no crosshatching on the cylinders i was thinking of having the bores honed for $6 a bore.
Could i just buy those pistons and stick them in the engine with the freshened crank and new bearings?
I'm just looking to juice up the motor for the street.
Any help would be appreciated as i have never done this much engine work, and don't want to waste money. And as much as i want to, i think just building is 440 is probably out of the budget.
