Buiding 383 and May Need Info

[dobtruckers1]

I I had an engine fire in my street rod that has 379,000 miles all powered by a 383 or 400. Going with a 383 this time and may be looking for some information on the way. Since this forum kept coming up in my Google searches I thought it would be a good idea to jump on board.

Thanks

Welcome from NY.
If that 383 and 400 you’re talking about are Mopar engines, then you’re on the right site for support!

I think a 383 would be an awesome engine for a rod.
Welcome and feel free to ask any questions to help your rod get another 100K on the clock.

Photo as requested - got her on the road in 1973 and have accumulated 379,000 mikes since then - all with a 383 or 400 Mopar and a 727. And yes, I'm the guy that makes the cast aluminum valley covers and valve covers for the early Hemis.
