383 or 408 STROKER????????
I got my hands on another vette engine. its got 50,000 mi. I want to turn it into a 383, how hard would this be? whats parts do I need and I want to run a lingenfelter GT-2 cam. Im gonna port and polish the heads and get new rods, pistons and of course crank. Who makes good engine parts? should I just get a Radix. Income tax is in.
Give me you honest opinion, thanks.

if you're getting 5500 back you can build a 408 for way way under that. hell, build a stock bore motor with an eagle 4" crank (or the 3.9xx crank maybe even) and some rods and a set of forged pistons, have your stock heads ported/worked for valves and get edit and a built tranny and you're there.
then a $500 wet kit and you're smokin
