I told my wife I put together a 383 stroker today. She was proud

And under 5min you can have a fully built 383 stroker! Hell yes!!!😂

You made it look so easy I feel like I can build a motor myself

2:30 Glad to see You correctly installed the # 2 piston. Your Shop is awesome 👌 Wishing I had the same. I just have a storage shed in the backyard 🙃 😫 😑 😐

Why do you install cyl#2 piston opposite?

Bro this video helped me so much for my 1981 Camaro build

Now,,,this is my favorite engine! 383 stroker..I had one on the street in a 81 Z28 Cameron 4 speed ,,There was No end to RPM..& Plus NOS,,

Perfect, think I'll build one this evening before supper !!!

Cool. We just built same stroker. 383. 202 heads and gear driven. Sweeet small blocks. Beautiful stuff

Love how much tech you left out.😆 Anyone thinking they're going to build they're own engine because they watched this video make sure to read a rebuild manual 1st. All bearing clearances need to be checked, bore size and ring gap too. Heads surfaces should be checked for any warpage, valves checked to make sure they don't leak etc. etc. Loved the quick and easy Reader's Digest version tho 👍

Maybe someone gets inspired: we all start somewhere. Step one? I do math before I buy most engine parts - much easier today with online calculators to sort what compression will be, etc I can do trigonometry... but why work that hard? [UEM pistons and Wallace racing both have a set of easily usable calculation tools]. Number one thing is be dead honest with yourself about operating rpm range the engine will serve before whipping out a credit card. And as always, cam selection happens right alongside heads, hand and glove. Any first timers out there, get ahold of anything Bill Jenkins wrote [print or online] - guy became a walking encyclopedia of useable details after decades of experience. David Vizard is no slouch either.

I'm building a stroker to put in my c10. Going cheap tho. Vortec heads and flat tappet cam. I'm lucky that I have 3 350s laying around and like 4 transmissions I can use. Yes it's not quite that simple but 500hp for 2 grand is not too hard.

Sounds a lot like my build....was going to go with AFR 195 CC heads, why did you go with 200cc heads, and do you like that choice?

Mopar also made a 396 stroker from the 340 and the 360 SB

Are the connecting rod journals bigger than stock and if so what are the rods and pistons you used with wrist pin location and rod length?

383 are nice, lots of torque. Clearance machining is required. I was always a fan of a destroked 454 to a 427. The extra 100 pounds didn't hurt my feelings. Great job but, It urks me seeing raw surfaces touched by bare hands. The oil on your fingers will not allow the zinc in the oil to absorb properly. It might not make a huge difference but that's how I was taught. Other that that perfect example 👌

Nice build, I would have liked to see you degree the camshaft.

It’s not hard and it’s only to verify that the cam meets the specs on the card, unless you’re racing. Dot to dot for an off the shelf cam is fine.

I just want to know what’s all forged in the kit I was considering doing a forged 6.0 kit on My LS but if this is more affordable for the same amount of power then I’d rather go this route. The Technician My corvette is at had said that My SBC has some pretty strong heads . Someone throw me a bone feel free to comment on my post it would be very helpful

@albertgaspar627

the issue with a stroker will be clearing the sides of the block's crankcase area, otherwise stock oil pans fit 400 chevies and the crank is similar. btw, the way to check for clearance is install the oil pump, torque it down, and put a big blob of clay on it and then torque down the oil pan. don't even bother with a gasket just yet, but shine a flashlight into the crankcase--if light shines out, your oil pan rails need to get flattened out so it will seal perfect. then take off the 'pan and measure how much the blob of clay got compressed.
