i have a 93 z-28. it has a re-built lt1 in it with only 10k miles on it. i want to go the 383 route but is to expensive to build. so, i am looking at a 3rd gen 383. what would i have to do so that i can put this motor into my car? prices? thanks.

Start Slow. Prep the block. Has to be bored magnaflux etc. Buy and old 350 4 bolt main bolt. Spend money when you have it. It all cost money. If you do not prep the block, your money is wasted. A 383 is a bored 350ci. No changes, just money, need to get a stroker kit. Don...

 

Most likely he's asking about fitting it into the car. He's thinking about buying an already built 383 from a 3rd gen. AKA old school small block 350. Anyone done this and retained the fuel injection? I think the biggest problem would be the distributor. It barely fits into the 3rd gen. LT1's and LS1's don't have a distributor sticking out of the back of the intake manifold. Thus no room fro one under the windshield.

 

how well will a lt1 383 fit in to my car? what will have to be done? prices? thanks.

The fit will be identical. But you'd still be looking at all of the machining and parts to do it right.

The outside dimensions will be the same though.

 

so it should bolt right in? do i need to replace anything? i'm not using my lt1. i'm buying one already built up from a company. has warranty. does it matter if its 4 bolt? isn't my lt1 a 2 bolt? thanks.
