383 build for Scout
Hi guys, new guy here. I am building a 383 to replace the 345 IHC motor in my Scout, I have a adapter kit from Advance Adapter's that makes it possible to bolt a SBC to the IHC transmission using a adapter plate.
I have to use a two piece seal block because it uses a std 350 flexplate, I have a Scat externally balanced crank, I plan to use one of those counterweight plates the gets sandwiched the crank and flexplate but I plan to use it on torque converter side because there are spacers so there is plenty of room for the counterweight plate, I also plan to weld it to the flexplate. I plan to use a externally balanced damper. This is going to be a torque motor that will never see any thing past 5000 RPM, I have a set of brand new "Swirl Port" heads, I know they are not the best head for performance but should make good low rpm torque. I need to find a cam to match what I am building, any recommendations? I have more ?s but I will save them for later. Thanks for any help.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
