440SOURCE is pretty easy on the pocket book, as far as stroker motor kits go. They have a couple different 383 kits available as well as other parts like heads, gasket sets, water pumps, valve covers, pulleys, etc etc etc. They are prety easy to deal with as well. Check out their website. They are also a site sponsor I believe. There is a couple machine shops also doing stroker motor kits as well that arent too bad on the wallet. Far cry from just a couple years ago when it was hard to get performance parts for our stuff.

...who has the best parts for the lowest $$$ thanks dan
Dan, you give me the shudders when you say stuff like that. C-body guys, of all people, know that there's no such thing as best and cheap. I can now give up all hope that I'll ever see a 100 pt. #1 Fury 6-pak...

Why not put a 440 crank in it.. Takes some machining for the block/crank clearance Keeps the outside block looking stock.. Put in the rite cam, heads, intake/carb and exhaust and will easily put out 500HP.. Just my $0.01..

Hey John, did you get another set and also not using them? 6 years ago I bought a set from you, they are still working perfectly in my 383 upgraded to 449 
You won't regret stroking your 383, I did it and with using a 3.91 stroke crank i made it a 449, runs perfect with a Comp XE284 and made 550hp on the dyno last year

thats what i was hoping for i want to run stealth heads will the comp be ok with them? want it to look stock or maybe thats why john isnt using them because of e head chamber dan
I have Edelbrock 84cc heads and my calculated CR is 10.5 , cranking compression is around 180PSI with the XE284 cam, the stealth heads are basicly the same so that won't be a problem

cool what did the pistons cost? what crank are you using?
The pistons i bought from John were custom made pieces that Diamond made for him but he ended up not using them, I think i payed him around $700 including the rings.
But that was 6 years ago, pistons for a stroker 383 are now more available from different vendors.
I used a old forged 440 crank (because then there were no 'cheap' stroker cranks as now) and had the crank grinded to B-block mains and offset grinded to 3.91 stroke, for the money i payed to had that crank machined i now can buy 2 Source cranks.
