Should I Buy this 383 Block?
So im a complete noob when it comes to bottom ends. Mine is stock with LE2 heads and a lloyd elliot cam. There is a guy local to me selling a 383 short block for 1500 bucks. He says it has a Scat cast steel crank 9000 series, Scat forged I beam rods, Mahle forged pistons and new freeze plugs. says compression is 11ish:1. Does this sound like a decent bottom end for the price? Questions I should ask him? This is a daily driver car for me in the summer.

Interesting recent thread on another site, showing a bit of a problem on a 383ci LT1 using the Scat 9000 crank and rods:
