Save the $$ and go forged 346 and blower at the same time With your Cam and head setup you will be atleast 600rwhp.Just keep compression at 9-1 to 9.5-1..

I'm thinking that is a assembaled short block...... If you go tthe 383 route, you might want to upgrade to the 225's when they are avalible, or get the TEA version (AFR/Judson). In the mean time, I'd let my pocket book chill for a while. Mines been on fire for over a year now. I can't wait till I'm done.
