hypothetical example...two core motors 1) 383 and 2) a 440 both have steel crank.

to do a budget rebuild (reuse block, crank, rods, heads)...assume new rings, brearings, came, intake.....I imagine the cost would be the same/similar as labor is a constant

to do a hi-po rebuild, new crank, rods, pistons, etc...again, i imagine the cost would have to be the same or similar.


that being said, why wouldnt you want to start with bigger motor to begin with?

regardless...just make sure you build a hemi 440...thats always the best way to go
