just received the bad news my #6&8 pistons are slapping, i need a very inexpensive but good engine builder to build me a 383 stroker motor any suggestion are builders please let me know. Any suggestions on wear to buy my rotaing assembly?

 

I am having mine rebuilt by RPM in Lewisville. Those guys are hp freaks and really good people.

 

i wouldnt go to rpm ive seen too many of there engines crap out in low miles

 

I recommend Hans Feustel. He's not cheap but he's definitely the most reputable in town. The price depends on what you want. My last 383 was well over $5,000 but it's seen 23psi of boost and lived You could build a nice one for half that with the cheaper Eagle crank and rods.

Performance Marine in Granbury will be a little cheaper with pretty much the same quality of craftmanship (he worked for Hans for years). It would probably get done a little faster to.

 

Just curious...How many is "too many"?

 

i saw one guy go through about 3 or 4 of them even though he still swears by them. i could ask around to get you an exact answer. and ive talked to a couple other people. but you expect these things with performance engines right? but at least ive never heard of there motors burining oil like other local shops around here.

 

but every horror story i heard about them was on a ls1 not lt1 so i dont know, i dont trust there work

 

You may have hit the nail on the head. Every LS1 I see there is either blown or stroked it seems.

 

Who was that?
