budget 383 build!

No nothing has been bought except the intake (bought in a group purchase and I'd prefer to get a Performer RPM over the torker).. the cam and intake are open to discussion/ recommendation - as well as a stall converter..

Ok guys starting over.. I bought the 71 383hp and it is mostly original - It has been resealed basically.

SO I plan to tear it down to inspect it and reseal it - going to add a double roller timing chain, small cam, valve springs, performer RPM intake(or Mopar equivalent), shim head gaskets, underdrive crank pulley, and a retrofit high amp alternator for an electric fan and relaying the head lights (makes them brighter)

Looking at a Comp 270H (224/224 @.050" / .470" 110*)(run Comp springs from my other "346" heads), Weiand Action Plus intake, Holley 750, and Heddman 1 3/4" headers, 2.5" X pipe/ dynomax ultraflows. stock electronic ignition and probably a 2500 stall

Tough stuff make s Mopar 100amp alternator in a single wire or 3 wire. I run the single on mine and I love it.

Glad you went with the performer RPM.

I don't think you'll be happy with that cam. I have run with much success the MPP 242/.528 cam twice now. I think you'll want a cam a little bigger than the one you proposed. I'd also lean you in the direction of a solid cam.

That stall is very low assuming it is a modern convertor. I run a 3500 and it barely footbrakes to 1200 RPM but flashes to 3500. Get a quality custom convertor. You'll be much happier.

I'd recommend going with a simple, modern ignition HEI or MSD.
