    Identifying a 383

    2468130 means 383 casting..... L.L. is there too. Its an early 383. The machine stamp pad could be ruined on any low deck block if any machining has been done.

    Really doubt the harsh engagement is causing wear.....more like preventing wear.

    Can this block number be right?

    All 440 blocks are desireable. They havent made them for regular production since 1978. Maybe not a gold mine, but still desireable................

    How to destroy a 440

    Doubtful any race car engine gets close to 400 miles (equivalent) before hitting the racetrack. I'd cry like a baby if my car came home with an engine lookin like that. BTW, agree 100 percent with the OP, the stock rockers are the first thing I toss in the trash.

    489 center section

    I say yes, unless its been out in the rain or underground for years. Maybe just need bearings even.

    Let's talk more about garage door openers.

    Im liking the Chamberlain Jackshaft operator i bought a few years ago. Its a whole lot less linkage and contraptions since its bolted right onto the door pully shaft. Super quiet too.

    Solid Axel or IRS?

    I beat german sports cars at the drag strip with my rusty Dodge Dart.... just decide which type of racing you really want to do and go from there.
