383 stroker kit
« on: February 21, 2010, 05:52:14 pm »
i am planning on stroking my 350 to a 383. anyone have experience doing this? any info or problems you guys encountered would be awesome. and anyone have any ideas about what cam to run with a 383 and if you think running flat tops is a good idea. the 383 will be going into a 76 3/4 ton 4x4.

thanks

You need to determine what heads you are running and the rest of your set up when you're choosing a cam. You'll need to clearance the block. I would recommend running a balanced assembly, crank, pistons, rods, balancer and flexplate/flywheel

When assembling check everything. The "balanced" kit I got from PAW had one rod that was hung backwards.
