Found the ugly cylinder that has the 383 seized. Next thing I'll do is flip it over, pull the crank, and see if I can't drive the piston out... At least that's my best guess as a first-timer trying to tear an engine apart.

And to answer the question, I have never seen one at a car show, which is kinda appealing...

True enough... I'm working on disassembling the 383 now and trying to figure out why it is seized... found a bunch of acorns in the head so far... part of me does really hate the idea of losing the /6...

Thanks for the effort to help - much appreciated... My mechanical experience is pretty limited, but I've been learning a lot via FABO, youtube, misc searches, etc... Over last winter, I did do front suspension rebuild/upgrade, 4 wheel disc brake swap, and upgrade to an 8-3/4" with 3.23s, added...

I actually went last Friday and picked up this pile of 383 stuff and thinking to try my hand at a rebuild. Never done it before, but ought to be able to figure it out. I got the engine and tranny separated - need to go buy an engine stand today and continue on with the disassembly. [SOLD] - 383...

Thank you. You've given me a lot more to research and learn about.

I'm new at motor work and could be wrong, but I think the MSD 6462 does that?

I should also state it has a stock exhaust manifold with the TTI slant 6 system. I'd probably go to work on the manifold outlet with a grinder while it is apart to get it to better mesh with the TTI 2.5".

Here it is currently. Would be doing a lot of clean-up and painting at the same time.

Starting to brainstorm for next winter's project... Torn between an N/A build on my current slant, a supercharged build on my current slant, or a G3 Hemi swap... Whichever is chosen would go into a 76 Scamp.... Does this seem likely a halfway complete +/- 15% shopping list for doing Torqstorm...
