v6 to 383 stroker
#3
not really...you can build a 383 stroker for 6k,at the highest,or even buy a built one for 4-5k.Now you wont be able to run a carb without cutting the cowl,and you wont be able to run a air cleaner,unless you have like a 6-8" cowl hood.

...And you'll have to change the cradle (front frame structure that the engine is mounted to) over to a V8 style. Plus, your existing transmission won't bolt up to an 8 either. Your rear end won't last a very long time with a 383. So budget for that, or carry a bushel basket with you to pick up the pieces when it goes!
Do you have emissions testing where you're at? If so, you'll have to keep it compliant, which would mean swapping and converting the engine management stuff from a V8 car over to yours.

Not to mention you will have to cut the fire wall so you can fit a distributer in there. You better make sure you got everything installed right cause you going to have to pull the motor to get the distributer back out.
This have been covered like 5000 times. Is the search engine broke again?

Seems like these things come in cycles. I think next month is "can I put a Grand Prix GTP supercharger on my 3.8" month again.

This Q&A would have to be considered a form of "regifting" of a thread subject.
Add it all up (money, time, parts hunting, aggravation, pulled hair, busted knuckles), and you might find out it'll be a lot cheaper and easier to just buy a V8 car instead.
