Do these use standard or offset rockers?

I need a single .030 TRW L2293 piston for a 383

Looking for a set of relatively cheap used big block heads that can support a big cam, preferably aluminum heads but if someone has a set of ported iron heads that would accept taller springs I may also be interested.

Thanks for the input y'all. Looks like I am going to roll with what I have for now and spec a cam accordingly. I will definitely look into building a big low deck stroker in the future, but since I already have an assembled short block and heads, I'm going to reevaluate my goals and build...

yeah, well the car is a factory 383 car so I think it's pretty novel to have the original block, trans, and rear end housing in a racecar and make decent times. It's not like I'm trying to go class racing or anything, I'd be tickled if it ran in the high 9's/low 10's with a shot of nitrous, and...

Yeah I was really intrigued when I read in a old Mopar book from the 70's about a build pretty similar to what I am trying to accomplish, but it had no information on head flow data, valvetrain, or any of the voodoo. Back then they ran a .654 DC Mini Express mushroom cam. I initially was going...

yeah that's probably not happening then IMO

I getcha. I already have a blown RB based 452 in my pro street car that makes roughly 900hp. Trying something different. The basis of this build really is the rotating assembly and the block.

Think I can get away with just a set of ARP rod bolts? Don't really want to change the main bolts as the bottom end is already assembled unless it is absolutely necessary.

And I just don't know if it's even worth the money dropping $800 on good Molnar rods at a stock stroke in the first place

I'd almost agree, but I honestly trust the good quality steel 50 year old forged rods more than new chinesium junk h beams..

I would be fine with 6500-7k but I m going off of what I was told by cam companies. I don't really know cam voodoo all that well

This is the type of input I want to hear. I think some of the cam companies are just trying to "sell me a cam" and don't necessarily care if it does the job or not. Schneider gave me those cam specs when I called to spec a custom grind. Comp was trying to sell me a similar spec off the...

I am targeting 600hp.

For the engine gurus: My current project to build a maximum performance B block 383 with the goal of using a stock block. Money isn't really an object but I want to keep it to mostly not one off parts. Engine Specs: 0 deck 30 over 383 block forged rods and crank TRW L2293 Dome Pistons Super...
