All,

This exchange of information is exactly why I started this thread. I have been very pleased that the topic hasn't deviated into using the 400 block instead of the 383. I'm sure that many people out there will use this info to help build their own 383 Stroker combination.

There have been many different combinations discussed, from budget to race. Personally, I'm going to stick with the low budget buildup. I can only afford to build it once, not over and over. I will use good quality parts, but I don't need a set of rods that can handle 650HP or a billet crankshaft. We are building mild, not wild. But if you are building wild, there has been enough information on this topic to assist you.


Thanks everyone,
