I have to side with the (bag it) group. Bag up the # matching parts,
oil and spray them up real good so they don't start to rust,
and put the parts up on a shelf for a later day.
Now, go find a 400 and toss in a 512 kit. Put
on some Stealth heads and paint it up like the
original 383 was looking. When you are giving
rides in it , and boiling the tires in all 4 gears,
and they ask you how a 383 makes this much power.
You just give them the old and tell them
to shut the f*#! up and hang on!!!


After that's out of your system, which some of us
takes years, then put the # matching stuff back
in and give it to your kid. If, it's still in one
piece!
