options to make a 383
what combinations can be used to make the 383 ls1.
id rather not make it all stroke.... and not all bore....
but if you have a good reason(s) for doing so please inform me.
what setup would you reccomend (as far as what bore and what stroke and rod length)
would my cam still sound a little choppy in the 383 or would it just gulp it down...
im looking to make about a 11:1 CR motor that would run on no more than a 250 shot... but would mainly run NA cause i bracket race and drive it on the road... 250 would be for the dirty snakes
what parts to use inside... or who should i talk to about this...

Well you can't hone the regular LS1 block out very far so thats why the 383 is a 4 inch stroke and a 3.905-ish bore usually and they run great and make more torque and power down lower than a 346 will with the same cam and heads. You can do a sleeved engine but then why not make it a 427 instead of the all bore 383 when you are already spending the money.

Depends on the size of sleeves and what type of sleeving system (wet or dry).
Cost = expect just a block w/sleeves installed to be about $2600-$2900 w/out any final machine work done.

Shop around, get written quotations with fully disclosed parts.
Bryan at LME http://www.latemodelengine.com/ was the best (as per my experience). He took time to listen and tailor the setup as per MY requests.
With some others, I would ask for X and they would quote me Y.

I had HPE machine and assemble my 383. Couldn't be happier. Erik know's his stuff and is great to work with. Give him a call, his number is in the first reply to this thread.
You might also consider starting with an LS2 block...
