splayed 4 bolt mains?

I am getting ready to order all the parts for my forged 383. I am going to have heads and cam, and all the bolts on's, and later plan to spray it. I am trying to do this on a budget, so I am tryong to figure out if it is worth it or not. I do not plan on going anthing over a 100 to 150 shot, so do you think that it would be worth it.

Absolutely don't even think of doing any stroker without going 4 bolt. you can't beat a good balance job and splayed caps. Milodon can save you money by doing it yourself. don't forget you have to have it align bored. Expect to pay $200 to $400 for that. Good luck to you.

By the way, you may want to decide to get a complete kit. I got individual parts and it was a b@#ch to get them balanced.

I have been told that 2 mains are good for 700 hp.

Hey IDOXLR8 "sheep lie". Tell that to a good machine shop and they'll get a good laugh.

Actually I have heard that from a few people that are very knowledgeable when it comes to building motors. Oh well I guess racing experience doesn't count for anything.
