Alright so I've put alot of ideas on here lately for comments. My last idea was a turbo 355 that lasted for all of a month once I realised how much money it would take. Before that was the 327 but the parts soon proved to also be out of my price ranged for my goal. So now I've come back to my roots for my engine swap with the idea that big cubes = free power for cheap.
When I turned to summit and found that a whole 383 rotating assembly was a whopping $900 I said to myself "Hey thats $200 more than the crank I was looking at for my turbo355 and 327." So now that I am more in the realm of realism with a price I'm looking at.

My main question is 5.7 rods or 6.0 rods? Whats the difference?

1) $300 for block machine work
2) $900 for a complete eagle 383 rotating assembly
4)$1050 for ported and upgrade valvetrain vortecs
$0 for my intake manifold because its included in the head package
