    I had a 383 magnum in a 1970 dodge charger SE four-speed 323 gear could not keep tires on it.The torque was unbelievable and most of my friends did not like riding with me because it held them back in the seat. The motor was all original except for headers so to say the 383 is a piece of junk. I...

    I Chose the 383 Big Block

    I would hone the block to clean the cylinders up and help the cross hatch. Don’t go hog wild with the hone just a good clean hone.

    I Chose the 383 Big Block

    I will change the pistons and the rings , connecting rod bearings and crank bearings and also do a home hone job on the cylinders put a new rear main seal in it and clean the pick up tube. Make sure it’s clean and clean the oil pump if you do not wish to buy a new one

    Painting, aluminum heads

    I am building a 431 from a 383 block and I’m going to put aluminum heads on my motor. My question is about painting the heads, I have read and heard different opinions, so I would like to hear from some people that have done it, or have not.

    Hemi oil pan

    I’m putting a big block 383 in my 1967 barracuda. I am reading that you can use a hemi oil pan with my K frame. My question is since the hemi oil pan is 6 quarts. Will I need to put the skid plate on the bottom of the K frame, since this is a deeper oil pan, then a 5 quart
