so if all 383 rods are forged then i can save 458 on rods, casting on my rods is 1737692, with 488 on cap, these should be forged as well, correct? Have that go towards other things needed. Thanks guys. I've been looking at cams; has anyone had any good experience with Howards cams???? I'm...

i have a 68 2 bbl checked the casting number today and according to what i found i have a forged crank as well casting number:2206159.

Ive recently started buying parts for my 383 build and just have a few questions. Ive been told that all 383 cranks are forged, and so are the rods. Is this correct?? also im using a set of KB 400 pistons with 906 head and aiming for 9.5-10:1 CR, doable??? also how strong are the crank and rod...

stock 383 rod lenth???

because race motors arent fun on the street

yeah 9.4 isnt bad but i figure imma have to get my heads surfaced so that will raise it but not anything noticable. if i had closed camber head im sure those pistons would probably get me in trouble at the pump. im only looking for a fun car to drive on the weekend, and blast down the track in...

ok so with the relifes in the domes i can get away with .484? i like the idea of the dome because of my 906 heads

well shoot, i dont wanna spend money on sumthing that wont work....

but im also stuck between using the edelbrock rpm or the wiand action plus intake...

yeah i figure i could poss got 400-450 if not more of it with the right combo, i tor it down today and plastigauaged one rod and main and found the rod at 0.002 and the main at 0.003.

no sadly i got myself a 2bbl 383 to start with, it was a bargin at 280 bucks complete carb to pan with everything on front too

i was wondering what pistons would help my comp ratio out the most im using 906 heads and looking at a MP cam with .484/.484 lift. want about 10:1 if not just a lil more.

i have 16 rod and piston combos that have been sitting up in storge for a while now and i was wondering is there anything i could do to free them up to where they are useable again.

yeah it would be. be much easier on the pocket book for other expenses of the project.

I recently bought a 70 duster and in the process of the build and would like to get my hands on a set of 15" sbp rallye wheels.
