alright chief. thanks for the reply. it wasnt much help but you made me realize that it will cost a pretty penny. i am just trying to find out how to do it for the lowest price possible. where do i start. i plan on having it bored over but dont know how far i can go to still keep it somewhat streetable. i also want to put a stroker kit on it but not sure who to look to for a street/strip 383 stroker kit. what kind of head work can i do and what heads do you recommend. im not completely dumbfounded on how to do this. just looking for some advise.
