Good cheap 383 builds??

Do you have an engine?
I was thinking on buying a running junker with a 383 and maybe changing the cam and intake/carb, as long as the engine checks out.
That way no need to search for all of the misc stuff- pulleys, plug wire looms, etc.

at the very least plan on a set of rings and bearings. your talking 30+ year old rings that at best, have very low miles but sat for long periods at a time. i have yet to tear down a "low mileage" motor and not find a few stuck rings.
