Help ! where to get a crate stroker 383 from ?
My head is spinning...
I got an 83 Monte Carlo SS with a blown up 305. I want to put a 383 stroker in around 420-460 hp. I been spending tons of time researching this and every company someone has something bad to say. Please point in me in the right direction from first hand experience !? -blueprint -ATK -Pace performance -skip white performance any others ? thanks ! |
John, I believe Adam still has his 385ci that went 10s in his Camaro. I think it was callies/compstar crank and rods, LE2 heads, blah blah blah. I think he posted about it recently too.
*edit* Found the posts I was referencing Quote:

I would take a look at Blueprint''s offerings on Summit Racing website. You can get free shipping and the prices are good. Plus they offer 383s in quite a few variations.

Dont let that stifle you too much, you can find bad word about everything on the inteweb. You could always have one built. |

You can throw a carb intake on my motor no problem. You get aluminum heads, reverse flow cooling, and proven bang for your buck. If its not what you want, no problem. I am looking for something to drop it into currently 8-) |

you have any good local machine shops ? I am still really leaning towards a Blueprint because it is thru summit and they seem to stand behind everything they sell in the past. |
My feeling on internet reviews... Anyone who had a bad experience will be sure to make it known, but barely anyone who had a good experience thinks twice about posting a positive review, so you will almost always see more bad than good. Think about the quanity they turn out and the percentage of real problems. And by real I mean defects and such not install or break in related failures. If its a larger company, than there's some sort of warranty for the real unforeseen circumstances.
And if it helps any, back in 2000, I got a 383 long block from speed-o-motive out in cali(?). I was satisfied. I sold the car not that long afterwards to pay insurance on a 2001 Camaro SS. |
yeah i thought about the mass produced number and I noticed that people seem to only leave negative reviews and the motors I am looking at all have warranties
