Hey, name's Anthony. I recently bought an 83' el camino with a 383 stroker motor in it. Has a small cam and i believe hydraulic pistons. My uncle is getting it running for me. Engine was running but no exhaust. Put the exhaust on and rewired the whole engine, deleted the computer (it got wet) &...

I've recently acquired a 1984 Camaro with a 350 (Not the original 305) and a t-5 transmission. I have not disassembled the engine yet, nor do I have the casting numbers, yet. I believe it is a 4 bolt main and originated from a mid 70's truck. I have built multiple engines before, but never a...

Hi all. I have been following this forum a couple of years. Lots of great info. Also on this subject but I would still have a go on this specific build. I’m about to build a new engine for my Chevy 56 It´s a cruiser, even towing a camper now and then. But not too shy to do a little strip racing...

Is 10.5 compression ratio going to be to much? Vortex heads, 111 lobe, big cam (haven't decided which one), flat tops, on 91 EFI in Az. Thanks for your help. I'm sure I missed some specs, so let me know.

Ok guys, I didn't build this engine I've inherited it with a new car that I bought. The problem is that the engine just isn't making the numbers, I've had the motor dyno tuned and I'm underwhelmed with the performance (180hp with 260 torque) to the rear. for a 383 Chev that's on the low side...

I found out that I have a 383 in my 79 Camaro. I was wondering what type of horse power I would be making and if I switched from 76cc to 64cc heads would do. The engine is a 1970s 350 bored 30 over with flat toped pistons. Forged rods and a 400 crank with a push on harmonic balancer. It has a...

I just built a 383 stroker. It's now in an '88 Chevy Blazer 4x4. It had a stock 350. I bought a tbi from a friend. The ports are bigger on the new tbi then the stock one. I need to bolt it to the stock intake. I have a tbi spacer with the stock tbi port size. Is there an adapter that will funnel...

I have a 400 that I rebuilt a few years back. Unfortunately I gave the engine to my brother to put in his truck. He was supposed to put it in his truck but left the engine in the back of his truck and it kracked the block. I was wondering how I would have to modify the crankshaft to fit in the...
