Thread: 383 rebuild question

Tweet

Is it difficult to build a 383 bottom end after all the block machining is done?

only if your rods do not clear the cam

No different than assembling a 350 or any other small block Chevy. Use Scat 25700P rods to clear the cam lobes and you're golden. Get this used copy of David Vizard's book from kamoflajed and read up on engine assembly....less than 12 bucks delivered to your mailbox.....

scat H beams clear and so will the pep and pbm rods .comp star the scats scr5ap can clear scra7 will clear. but like any thing check it ..do not take any ones word that you can not verify with you own eye balls i build many big strokers engines that can be just the start of the fun

you might want to install the cam first and then the crank---put # 1 in and degree the cam-------then you can check each rod as you go instead of thinking your done and finding that the crank won't turn over---------
