that cam is way to small for a 383 and for those heads. and not sure on that crank wat brand is it? building one will most likely cost you that much or more depending on the parts though also if i was building it id bump compression up some and not sure if those keith black pistons r forged but if they rnt i doubt itd hold a 300 shot.

 

also im wanting a build that for a 383 with about a 250-300 shot fyi

 

if you want to spray that much nitrous either buy from a reliable place like advance induction or build it yourself so you know what parts are going in it you know its all torqued to spec you know the rings are gapped right and all that.

 

not a new seller but not well esablished, with that kind of money and no returns i would shy away from it. not a bad deal but could be if you know what i mean.

 

383 DO IT
Heres mine...

still second guessing?

 

yeah i'm with rob and craby here. that cam is awfully small for a 383 and i doubt it would make 450 horsepower. and a 250-300 shot is a pretty good shot and i'd want to build my own motor with proven parts so i know what i'm getting and not trusting someone else

 

yeah i bought mine built but only cuz it was local, and i was able to talk to the shop that did everything and got recipets,,, i wouldnt just buy a motor, built without face to face and proof...

 

yeah i bought my 396 from a guy who runs camaroz28.com so i'm pretty sure he knew what he was doing, lol

 

thanks guys, anyone have good links to a site you would rec for a 383 short block? im at work tryin to keep the links to a min! haha
