I have one for sale, but it's already been bored .030" and needs to be cleaned up.

Also, it's a two bolt block but I have a set of four bolt billet caps I can throw in.

Hey Jim I'm not sure if that is the bore I will need for my 383. Let me find out.

For a 383, the a standard bore block needs to be bored .030" over. Since this block is already .030" over and needs a clean up, it will be a bit bigger.

On that note, with a 3.75" stroke:

.040 = 385
.060 = 388

Factory four bolt blocks are damn hard to find, but IMHO, they're over-rated. Fitting aftermarket caps requires align boring/honing just like with a two bolt block, so maching costs remain the same.

Or you could just stick with stock caps
