383 Machine Work
383 Machine Work So I am going to make my LT1 a forged 383 stroker. However, what need's to be done to the block in order to accommodate the stroker? And how much would I be looking at? Also what are some good places that can do it? Thanks.

Verdad Gallardo well dependant on if you want to keep a stock pan or go to a more stroker-friendly one. even with i beams on my 383 with "stroker" ARP bolts I still had to clearance the oil pan some. the pan rail is the area that is questionable mostly as I didn't have to but others with beefier rods or larger crank throws had to.

So where did you get these prices? Could I get my block done there? Just tell them what u want, Just ask them do they ever mess with lt1 blocks and lt1 stuff thats what i do, If they dont do lt1s get the hell out if they have done them just tell them what your plans are and go from there. Good luck with ur build
I think it cost me around $450 or so for all my machine work

I did the 383 clearancing myself, it's not hard but then again I had probably the most clearancing friendly kit of all

make sure you have the mains aline honed or you will kick yourself in the *** later... Also to make sure that everything is clearanced correctly you want them to have your rotating assembly in hand, to physically test fit and check the rod bolt to block clearance.
