Cheapest forged 383 Shortblock...Where?
Searched...nothing
CMotorsports' Website...found just what I need but no prices
I don't want to call and make a big deal, just need to know how much I'll need to save. Ballpark figures? Thanks.
NOTE: If you've got prices for a 396, throw that in here too

That's what I need! I was looking at MORE Performance's website and it was like $6k! 
I hope on some kind of forced induction that's why I want all forged. I've already got heads and intake I can have ported. Still a lot of money though...Thanks for everyone's help.

CMotorsports isn't the cheapest 383. Cost is around $8000 or so.

Scoggin-Dickey is the way to go for a solid value.
Two different compression ratios available for the same price.
The only reason, in my opinion, to go to a place like Combination Motorsports, is if you're doing a max effort motor.
