lol no its not fun but time is what i have , and my buds blast box is free sooo.

No a lot happening at the moment sand blasting all parts and gathering parts for build , money,money,money, . Will update where i,m at in the next few days with pictures to boot.

Not at the moment . working on my 1996 jeep and saving cash to move forward on 383 . ju7st installed locker and now blowing off steam bashing around in the mud.

Just want to thank every one for there input, it is really helping me to form this build.

lol the 440 rods are for the 440 and i will use the 383 stock rods if in good shape . Looking to run 10.5 for CR not sure on pistons at this point some KB and cam choice is still up in there air . looking for around 440 hr. But . need more infor on what i will end up doing. some parts i have...

The 440 and 400 are in way better shape than the 383 . but i feel the 383 would be a better choice for the cuda.

I have a 1966 440 block strip down ready to go to the machine shop. A 1975 400 waiting to stroke to 500 cid , an this 383 i could not pass up for the cost, and will go into a 67 convet cuda as a 383 S clone that i am restoring . any way thats the dream.Slow an steady will win .the day

yep on the rods . everything going to machine shop to be checked and recon. Oh yea those rods are for a 440 , have a set of mopar HP (6 pak) rods all recon and ARP bolts sitting in a box waitin to go !

Cant learn any thing from easy . just my 2 cents .Thanks for the molasses tip

LOL maybe but nothing to hard , a ball joint press and some WD40 works wonders . Had some 440 rods with pistons to test it out with , worked great took all of an hr to remove 7 pistons.

nothing new to report at this time , removing pistons from rods and just working to get cash to send block to machine shop. Blew my back out 3 yrs ago and trying to keep my mopar dream alive... lol will get some pics up of the piston removel found a easy way to get this done wasting the pistons...

All apart yeep pee, now to run a tap thru the major bolt holes then need to do some work to fund next faze . bore is ok after straight edge check

Dollars are the right bait for most things lol. Yes trying to push cam out from the inside with hammer and drift (washing machine main shaft) snap cam just at gear .

a little bit at a time

lol both would be fun to reel in. Got all pistons out and only the 1 crack, lifters coming out now . broke cam end with gear . Need to pull straight edge out and check crank bore. Gee tired, swinging that hammer around is a work out for sure. Pic in a bit . Thanks
