You could cut your balancing cost by 50% if you go extrenal on the back half of the engine,IE 400 flex plate, and go internal on the front with a neutral dampner( 350 type ) Reason being how often do you change a flex plate? almost never once the engine is in the car. But you could spin a counterweighted stock type dampner and you would have to re-balance the engine to replace it.

 

still wondering how long the special will last. I'm still waiting for my tax return before I can buy this.

 

It will run it until Feb. 10th.

 

Perfect, this could not have come at a better time. I was JUST about to purchase a rotating assembly and the 383 kit I was going to get was a ton more than your 396 price.

I will get in touch with you guys this afternoon.
Thanks
Matt

 

sweet, as soon as my tax return is deposited I'll be getting a 396 kit. would you take a deposit on one to secure the price in case the IRS takes its time?

 

Be sure to get the direct deposit option. 3 day it to them and you should have it in 3 weeks.

 

I can do that.

 

pm sent.

 

how much for a balanced 383 with -7cc pistons. Also can you hang the pistons on the rods?

How much for a 383 kit but with stock bore pistons as my block is still in great shape and I dont want to bore it just yet. Balanced of course, and the engine will be blown around 6psi, with lt4 heads and probably a 50-100 shot down the road so im not sure what piston dish size to run to keep that compression ratio down to a safe # so a suggestion on your part would be appreciated. PM me also please.

 

Pm'd back, as well as every one else.

 

Define stock bore for a 383.
Eagle doesn't have a Competition Forged Kit with a 4.000 bore piston.
Which means custom setup on the piston most likely.
They have a 3.875 stroke, but doing a dish on the 4.000 piston might be unwise without the extra material.
I will look into it and see what I can come up with.

 

Dave,
I just need info on a basic 383 rotating assembley...car is mainly a street car and I have goals of 400hp at the rear wheels. Car will see track use...maybe once a year with occassional autocrossing/road racing.

Holy Moly B! I never thought I'd see the day you'd actually put that screen name to good use! Welcome to the rebuild club!

 

Sad but true..... once the 383 is built... MAYBE...just MAYBE I'll get a blower in the future. However I plan on keeping this one N/A for now.
