Quote: Well just out of curiosity, I may just price out what it would cost to "stroke it". But even if I just did a nice standard rebuild with a few hand picked parts, I could still be happy. Anything to get the beast back on the street would be good. I'll price it both ways, but like most of us I always want a bit more. I'd like to stay with stock heads and valve train to save money, as long as they are in good shape.
then the cheapest route is the just do a 440 , you can stroke out the 383 , spend the $$$ and still have nothing better than a stock 440 because of your head choice .
