Hi, my name is Adam Spotanski. I got hurt in Afghanistan and now I have money in the bank and I want to build a 383. I want around 430hp to 500hp on pump gas. My question is if anyone with experience with stroker could give me a damn good engine recipe for the parts that I will need to accomplish such a task. By the way, I'm putting it in my 1970 C10

I would run a th700-r4 if it is rebuilt for the added strength maybe a small stall like a 2000 or 2200,and 3.73 gears

383ci bored .030 over
9.5:1 pistons with moly rings
nodular iron crank
5.7" rods(if 6"rods are in the budget use them)

500HP AFR Headed Crate Engine

if I had the money to build one the way I wanted. I would build it in a 4 bolt main block, balance the rotating assembly with 6" rods. forged crank, forged slugs, H beams & all roller. AFR heads. I would shot for the 550 HP mark, 500 + pump gas friendly horse power would be bad *****. or buy the 500 HP crate engine.

ZZ383-500 �383 Stroker� 500 HP @ 5,700 RPM, 491 FT/LBS @ 4,600 RPM, P/N SCZZ383500
Anniversary ZZ383-500A, P/N SCZZ38350TH
GILBERT CHEVROLET has a �New� 383 c.i.d. crate engine, the ZZ383-500, to add to our line up. The new ZZ383-500 puts out an impressive 500 hp @ 5,700 rpm and 491 ft/lbs. @ 4,600 rpm of torque. GILBERT CHEVROLET starts with the GM 383 short-block as the foundation for the ZZ383-500 and adds to it all the tried and proven components that combine to produce this engine. Keeping with the goal of making this engine useable for street and strip applications, we chose parts that were well suited to this application, like the hydraulic roller cam which has great idle, vacuum, and streetability characteristics. We added the AFR 6155 Rev. Kit to help the hydraulic lifters function effectively at high rpm.
The top end of the engine consist of a pair of special AFR 195cc cylinder heads and an Edelbrock Victor Jr. single plane intake manifold to help the engine breath throughout the rpm range set as the goal for this engine. The AFR heads have 58cc combustion chambers, which helps the ZZ383-500 attain a 10:1 compression ration, and the ZZ4 plug pattern. The Edelbrock intake manifold is good up to 8000 rpm which is more then adequate for the maximum rpm of 6,500 for this engine.
To finish off the ZZ383-500, we added the new Holley 0-82751 4150 Street Hp 750 cfm carburetor to keep up with the demands of this engine and the Proform 141-693 Chevrolet Clear Anodized Aircraft Aluminum Plain 14� air cleaner for its low profile, to aid in hood clearance, and the overall show quality appearance it give this engine.
At this time we do not have a base engine package put together for this engine, but if enough people express interest in one, we will be more then happy to put one together for everyone.
As part of the celebration of the GM small-block V8 50th anniversary, we made a special version of the ZZ383-500 called the ZZ383-500A which features special black power coat valve covers and the black painted Proform low profile air cleaner. You can read more about this and see pictures of this version on our page made specially for this. This version of the ZZ383-500 will only be produced for the year 2005.

to be honest powerhouse is a few blocks from my house and I have personally used them in a daily driven 70 C10 for over a year and a half with that combo,I have seen these castings and darts and afrs,afrs are nice if you have $1,500 to spend on a set of heads but the powerhouse heads are have excellent flow characteristics but are far more in the budget for some of us.
I dont have any complaints about them,but use whatever you can really afford if $800 heads arent in the budget vortecs are also nice stock heads
