Thanks for the info. I am using the correct distributor for a 383.I thought it would be ok To fit the distributor to the shaft I just needed some confirmation.

I am building a 383 and when I put the distributor in it’s not going all the way down. I pulled the oil pump drive out and the tang on the distributor shaft is too wide go all the way in the oil pump drive. I am using a MSD pro billet distributor and the oil pump drive shaft came from 440...

if you look opposite side of the bearing tang you can see groove in the cap and bearing. I will mike and use plastigauge to determine bearing clearance.

I already have cam and lifter kit and I don't think there is a hole in them.

I also will be using a .528 purple shaft cam mechanical lift. I have read a few different things to depending on what type of cam and lifters you are running. Is there anything specific that needs to be done to run this cam? I am not new to building engines but, this is my first Mopar engine...

Thanks for all the reply's this is a lot of information to work with. I have another question related to rod bearing oiling ,the rod caps have a groove cut in them and it looks like it was done by hand with a cutoff wheel or something like that. The bearings had a small notch cut in them too. I...

Using a Melling M-63-HV I will check it out to be sure. This engine was built sometime in the 80's to drag race. It had big dome TRW forged pistons in it. I bought it disassembled and some parts missing. The cylinders look great just going to hone and have some KB400 pistons for it. It also had...

I am building a street/strip 383 and just guessing that it would not turn more than6500 rpm. I have read about several mods for the oiling system on big blocks. Going to a 1/2" NTP oil pick up tube seems to be very popular one but, on my block the hole looks to be too close the edge to enlarge...

I just wanted to see if anyone could use the L&R quarter pnl From a 68 Coronet. They are free to anyone who could use Them. The bottom and wheel lip Is gone the rest has been blasted and in good shape.

I have had the car for a year now it was a 95% complete car but had been taken apart except the sheet metal. It's a 68 Coronet 440 318,auto,bench seats and hard top. I have always liked the 68-70 B bodies And this one came up for sale local and I bought it. I had the outside of the car blasted...

While reading in threads about The more rare b bodies it has been mentioned that base model coronets are plentiful. So if that is the case what is the Max amount of Money that should be invested in restoring one? I quess my 68 coronet Would fall into the base model Catagory. I am doing all...

I think it is an A body only 383 block from the small amount of research I did. I took a picture of the front so the experts can take a look. It has 2 7/16-14 tapped holes On the driver side front. What do these normally sell for? I already have a 400 motor So if I could get some of my money...

The cylinders measure right on .030 over. 4.280. The pistons have about .008 Clearance though. Seems like a lot movement in the hole but, I guess that is normal for an older forged piston. I would think they would make a lot of Noise when cold. Well I am thinking of building the 383 back. That...

Well the more I check things out The worse it gets. It's not a stroker after all just a 383 with forged crank and rods With big dome pistons. When I went to look at it It was obvious the OD of the counter weights had been turned down for some reason. I just assumed 440 crank turned down. I am...

a few more pictures The pistons don't have a part number on them there is 231-99 in the bottom.

Thanks for the reply I have a 440 forged crank that has been machined to fit the b blocks. 383 forged rods that have full floating pins. The block has been bored .030 And is in good shape no ridge. From the research I have done the Pistons are older TRW forged dome possibly 12:1. It also came...

I bought a 400 from CL on Saturday to build a 451 stroker. On Sunday I found on CL what the guy Said was a 400 stroker that was taken apart and a lot of parts for what I thought Was a good deal. After I got home with it I found out it was a 383 stroker. The bad is the rear motor mount ear on the...

I am a Chevy guy that just bought my first Mopar. It is a 68 Coronet 440 project car. It is complete but everything needs work. The original 318 and auto trans is all there but,was already pulled out when I got the car. I am not going for an original restoration or a race car but,I am not sure...
