Identify That Engine Block

Ouch.

Like I said, have someone else do your mechanical work.

I think I can handle it. Thanks.

If you don't have anything but insults to add here, why not keep it to yourself.

I'm sorry that you see advice as an insult.

So, need any mechanic references?

I think it is a chevy small block made in Mexico.

Funny argument here. Just because most people are familiar with the way they used to make 383's they think thats the only way to do it. Keep in mind MOPAR was doing it before the SBC geeks haha.

I was a died in the wool small block guy... till I found out the Dodge RB motor could make more horsepower for the same money my chevy valve train was costing me (to spin over 8 grand anyway)

It was pitiful... scouring the country for derilict Winebago motor homes to steal their wedge motors... no replacment for cubic inches

I guess things have changed since the early 80's?

 

[purplehaze]

nope, cubes still help a great deal...

The first time I saw a kid plug a laptop into a 5.0 mustang and proceed to whip a "real race care" I knew my time had passed

I'm scared for you if you think there is a 383 Chevy Block.

Please have someone else do all of your mechanical work.

I'm thinking that instead of being a jerk, you should consider the fact that questions don't necessarily constitute complete ignorance. I have a built 383 stroker in one of my trucks and still consider the "concept" of the stroker motor to be strongly debated. You often run into the "older / poor boy configuration" (no offense intended) and the new concept of the "stroker conversion kits". You see GM coming out with a few different configurations of 383 motors, none of which were ever offered as a factory option in any gm vehicle to my knowledge, but are offered as production replacements for many small blocks. Just like how I see many people throwing zz4 crate engines into first generation camaros. Not a factory option, yet many implement it as a replacement. And yes, I am well aware that Chevy never produced a production "383" motor for factory installation. In fact, I believe the only company that produced a factory 383 was plymouth.
