okay, come january or february, i want to take my block out and set it up as a forged 383. i want it to be strong NA as well as being able to handle a decent n2o shot.

you can see in my sig my current mods (the le2 cam will be swapped out of the 383 for, probably, the le3 cam). ive done quite a bit of reading about motors and had it set up pretty decent. however, ive been waiting until this year to redo the bottom end the way that i want it. ive got a good understanding of the top end and how everything works. now i'm just not exactly sure on how to set up the bottom end. is there any reading out there i can study up on to learn how to put a bottom end together the way that i want it? i understand that i could just tell someone what i'm looking for, but i'd also like to understand why i'm chosing the the parts that i end up going with.

also, where are some good places to buy 383 parts? ive skimmed over summitracing.com (although i have no idea which part i would go with) and found some decent kits for around $1900 (mostly eagle parts. i'm open to other options).

edit: basically, i'm looking for information to read up on to understand why i would choose a certain length rod. which dished pistons effect my setup in different ways. even if its a book in the library, feel free to let me know. i just want to learn more about the overall mechanics of the motor so i can understand and choose my own way to build my 383 based on my personal goals. thanks and all help is appreciated.

 

anyone?

i'm looking for any information for learning about putting together a bottom end. how to choose pistons, rods and crank for the my personal goals. which rings to use for different applications. any help is greatly appreciated.

btw- you dont have to type out the information i'm looking for. a link or a book would be great. ive seen a few but i havent found what i'm looking for.

 

there4s a book out there that is a very good read it is called "how to build big Inch Small Block Chevies"

I bought it at Hastings for 16 and some change.

 

Please feel free to contact tus with any product or application questions that you may have. We'd be happy to help.
