This sounds like a "cut your losses and start over" build, unfortunately. :/

I agree with ramair, at this point you've got a 383 that's slower than a Bolton only car, and you can't even push it or the crank will break, even tho it will probably break as you idle through a parking lot as that's happened a bunch. Sounds like you should quit while its in 1 piece, salvage what you can, and start over.
