Just because of the 383 stroker. That’s all. Unless I missed something important here. What trans are you running? Is it a 383 that has been stroked after being a 383? If so what is the new cid? I replaced an 8 3/4 in mine so I didn’t cut the a body one. The ford 8.8 that I put in the valiant is way closer to your price goal. Disc brakes, no cut, no axle swap, got rims from a jeep compass and welded perches
