im in the process of building a 438 stroker out of a 383 with stealth aluminum heads 525 comp ex energy cam performer rpm dual plane and 770 street avenger holley. I like the rev's of the 383's better and the fact it is replacing a 440 that spun a rod bearing LOL. This will be my second 383...

71bird is back in action. I stripped all the wiring out of the engine bay and i picked up some of the correct harness wrap off of ebay and did a one for one unwrap inspect/repair and rewrap it so it looks just like it was made. On this project I have found that there is...
