Hey guys,

Im interested in knowing more about this motor which im looking at. Its got a stroker kit in it with stock cam and rebuilt heads to stock specs. Looks like its a steel scat crank and it broke at the front main. Over tighened? Its a clean break and with no signs in the cylinder walls and turns freely with the broken front part of the crank removed. Just wondering what could have went wrong and is it worth it to get the engine fixed or stay away.

 

The real question is, what is he asking for it? I'm assuming it's a complete long-block?

 

Complete long block with heads, newer opti, waterpump, and tb. $1200 Canadian.

 

Someone stroked it and used a stock cam?

 

What was he using for a damper?

 

Id assume stock. Just a basic stroker kit with stock rebuilt heads and stock cam. Im staying well clear of this as its prob going to cost about another 2k for what a stock 383 thats not even forged.

 

Talk about a waste IMO. Might as well of just did a stock rebuild and saved a few thousand.
