My 66' coronet has a 68' 383 needs a top and bottom end rebuild. Low compression ~110 all around, and spits a little gas out the tail pipes on a cold start, I'm guessing rings..
The question is, is it worth ~3500 bucks a for a low-end rebuild? (could be way more if I was to get alumheads , nice crankshaft etc..) Or should I just go ahead and save up to get crate motor?
If so whats best bet on a crate? (not crazy expensive) ATK,BluePrint?
The car was built with a 361 so the numbers matching argument is out...
Also, what could I expect to get for my 383 out on the market?
