383 rebuild parts list advice?

This is my numbers matching block.

I understand that you would want to keep the numbers block. I have a good friend that was in the same position. He chose to sleeve all 8 cylinders back to stock bore, and bought a new standard crank. Pricey yes, but he felt it was worth the effort and money.

This is my numbers matching block.

I understand, I'm just not a numbers matching kind of guy. I'm more of a motor guy.

I have the money. Doesn't mean I want to spend the money. But my thoughts are today it will be the cheapest it is ever going to be. And every year the car will accrue value complete, in the great condition it is, with the original driveline. Especially since this motor will probably just sit on a stand in the garage under a tarp.
