is it worth doing a 383 stroker or just a full cam to lt4 swap

 

To be honest i have never been a 383 fan. But when I built one for my S10, i started liking them. Then when i got this Z, i fell in love with them. My cuzin Z with a couple of bolt ons cant even come close to my Z. 383 built right is a nasty lil engine.

 

yea just this project car i have 8K to put in it and i think it will cost 4 just to install machining and not including the kit

 

i priced a 383 rotating assembly (scat) a whole drivetrain kit with cam and the machine work to the block at about 2400$

 

where at bec ill call them and get it done this week lol

 

i was looking on summit for the parts and theres a local shop that will do my machine work for about 400$

parts come to just about 2000$

too small for a 383, go bigger.

 

350 / 383 SB Chevy 2-PC Real Seal Forged Assemblies - 6.0"

what about this kit is it a good kit

 

my 383 on na pushed about 600hp on the crank with pump gas. its well worth the money if you do it right. but you need some heads to go with the 383. a 383 with stock head isnt going to do much in my op. but you get what you pay for. i dont like scat or eagle.

but what is ur hp goal.

 

but some bad *** heads and intake would do a number. btw i dint see any fuel parts or program. bolts, studs, in the prices. trust me every lil thing adds up quick i have 21k into my na engine. but if you only want 500hp go with a FI on a stock engine or heads and cam
