First Engine Build - Advice Needed

I'm old school, I prefer to look in a book rather than surf the web and get 20 different answers from 15 different people. Paper is cheep, write down WHAT YOU want, your performance goals and how much you want to spend; this will be an ongoing guide till you are done.

Get a factory service manual, look for one between 1968 to 1972, that will cover the muscle car years. It will give you all the technical specs to tear down your 383 and rebuild it; Mancini racing has books on rebuilding you big block Mopar, they are like $20.00. Read them before you ask questions on line; form the sound of what you wish to do, a stock rebuild on the 383 with a mild cam and an aftermarket dual plane intake is what you are looking for.
