Depends on how far you want to go.Originally posted by 71novaSS View Posti have the crank shaft for a lt1 383 and am wondering what els ei need
A 383 is a 350 ci motor with a 400 crank in it. In theory, you don't need anything else. But...there will always be something that needs to be done.
Hows the block? Does it need to be honed/bored? How many miles?
If it was me, I'd check the bores, and at least go rings/pistons/rods.
To really do it right, you should maybe port the heads as well.
If you go that far, valvetrain would be nice to have.
Ported heads and a new valvetrain, well, it's time for a cam too.
As long as we're there, a new intake would let it breathe better.
Really not a simple answer.

I DONT WANT AN ENGINE THAT IS PARTIALLY POWERED BY MY LAPTOP BATTERY!Originally posted by Z28ISGR8WHY THE F*CK IS THERE A GOAT ON A FERRARI?Originally posted by DarrenI think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
