    383 Stroker Build

     



    Father and Son project. Received our 327 block back from the Machinest yesterday. New cam bearings, cylinder hone, align hone, machined for splayed caps, magnafluxed, sonic tested, decked to 10 in the hole, and a few other things. Motor will only be used for drag racing going into a 72' Camaro. Hope to have everything ready to go by 2017 race season and be able to make a few passes. Since this is the first pic I've ever posted, now that I got the hang of it, I'm going to try and keep a log of the progress and frustrations encountered over the next year!
