Help me build my stroker
I have a 400 small block. Just the block with the heads. I plan on sending it out and getting it cleaned and honed.. Now I would like to build a 383 stroker. I'm 16 and this is my first motor. Are there complete kits I can buy to do this? Do I do any boring etc. Anything you can give me for info would help.. Or sites where I can buy kits or parts..Thanks..If its got tits, tracks, or tires, its gonna give to troubles.

umm, if you already have a 400 block, why not just get a 400 crank and get some more CI?

A 383 is built with a 350 block and 400 crank.
A 377 is built with a 400 block and 350 crank.
Put the 400 crank in it, bore it 0.030" and you have a 406.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.
