new motor for my truck!!!

[westsidek20]

I get frustrated sometimes because i wish i would have more mechanical know how, i just bought the truck and I'm figuring out whats in it and were do i want to go with it, i read everything i can about it. I do like the idea of building a 383, I've seen kits ranging from 700 (eagle) to 2400 (lunati), are all cranks and rods the same (talking about the 383 kit)? am i just paying for a name brand?

cranks can be forged or cast, same for rods, so technically no.
IF you have the money, by the best bottom end you can afford, everything else you can change later.

EXACTLY, what he said you never know what you might wanna do in the future so build the bottom end to take a bullet, and you can skimp alil on the rest til you find out what you truly wanna do with it......
