Re: I Wanna Get A 383 Stroker???

If you have a A4, u may want an upgrade, definitely a higher stall TC, possibly some A4 guys can chime in on that. An M6 will be fine with an upgraded clutch, although the T56 can be built beefier as well. As far as the rear, a stronger rear is definitely needed with a 383.

If you are using ported heads on a 383 I'd suggest a bigger cam than the hotcam, not saying that it wouldn't work.

i agree on the bigger cam, a hot cam will choke a 383.

you can get your heads ported by loyd and get his le1 cam. The le1 is very similar to the hotcam but makes more power and tq everywhere.

Re: I Wanna Get A 383 Stroker???

Why go as small as the LE1 on a 383? I am doing the LE2 kit on mine, and it will probably peak 6200-6300rpm. As far as price, that really depends on how nuts you want to go. You can go cheap with a cast crank, stock rods, and hyper pistons, but I wouldn't spin it very high like that. And as far as going the other way (more $$$) the sky isn't the limit, its much higher than that.

That really depends, if that is just the rotating assembly, that will be very stout! But if that is the complete engine, that seems low, unless its running on stock heads/cam which is a sin on a 383.

It is possible to build a good 383 for $3500-$4000. Mine was a little under four and was built right(however if you plan on using a hefty amount of n20 then it will cost you a bit more).
