Aight this winter im yanking the motor myself taking it to the guy who does all the motors for my race cars and getting a 383 done (my motor is TIRED) has 113k on the clock and shes deffninitly tired. What am i looking at for parts and whats recomended..
I might do a small amount of spray.. like 100 shot.. somewhere around there. Probly want Forged pistons and some nice steal rods. And i want a decent crank but this is a street motor not a race motor. It will see some street abuse but not tons. Ill probly clean my heads up myself or have the guy do them Nothig huge with the heads. And i need to stay emissions legal so im tinking cc305/306 cam. with 1.6 rrs and ill need springs and mabey valves but well see.. depending on how bad they are i might just need a valve job. and the obvious stuff, Bearings and all that kinda stuff and machining.. anyone got and idea of what this will set me back.. i was really hoping to stay at the 3k range

 

I went with the Scat 9000 crank, Triton forged rods, and SRP forged pistons. For my complete short block including having it assembled cost me 3 grand.

 

have your heads done at all? or was the a seprate cost (i realize you said short block but i was just wondering )

 

Thats exactly my setup.

XE 230/236 112 with 1.6 rockers and Comp R lifters

Scat 9000 crank, Eagle H-rods, SRP pistons, total seal piston rings, King bearings, etc.

 

heads were another $1600. but then you still have to figure in gaskets, fuel injectors .... then add another $1000 to your budget

 

how much all in all put together.. because I seen some 383's with your cam of choice and nice heads ready to get thrown in for 5800 bucks all asembled

 

the whole project cost me about $6000. That includes clutch, headers, and all the little odds and ends.

 

I have about $2300 in my shortblock and that includes Eagle hbeams, Eagle forged crank, SRP pistons, and 4bolt main caps. That also includes machine work and balancing of rotating assembly. I could of saved $300 if I went with the cast crank but I figured for $300 more it was worth it. I allready had an Extreme Duty timing chain set which I would reccommend. The cam was another $250 but I recouped some of that cost by selling my old hotcam for $150. Fliuds and gaskets will get another $200 or so of your $.
