building a 383 stroker
Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with a brand new build of my 383 stroker? I Pulled my 350 4 bolt main from my 67 el camino, disassembled it and had it machined to a .40 over. Right now Im trying to figure out what rotating assembly to buy along with a cam and heads. Here's what my goal is. I want to build a motor that kicks me back in my seat when i punch it and takes off (It would be nice to put my snotty neighbor with his souped rice rocket in his place). I have a 700R4 race tranny to go with it. Im obviously looking for the horsepower and even more looking for the torque. obviously there are plenty of kits out there I can buy but my dilemma is I would also like the car to be practical. I plan on driving it 60 miles a few times a week round trip to work and back. At this stage in the build I need to buy a rotating assembly. any suggestion on a good quality kit I should buy? Im not looking for a compression of 9 or 10 seeing that I want it to be practical. goal is to have horspower and torque in the low 400's. Am i crazy or is this possible?
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
