Built Bottom End
Built Bottom End I wanna build my bottom end. What all do I need? What's the best stuff to get? Should I buy a kit for like $2200. Or should I piece the pistons, rods, and other stuff together? Where can I get these things from?
Thanks,
Justin
Or should I just buy a Forged short block?

Buy a SLP 402 or a 402 from Texas Speed. Do not try to piece one together yourself. It cost the same money and would take you longer to do. 
Also build a 402 even if you use the iron block. Over a 383 the cost is the same except for the block.
