Thoughts on Golens 383 short block Long story short I have metal shavings in my oil. What are your thoughts about the Golen 383 that is in the December issue of chp, but order a short block and use the stuff in my sig, depending on course of what else isn't hurt.

i love golens work, i have the 383 shortblock from them and i currently am mocking the build up of theirs in the newest issue of chevy high performance... their products are well worth it. chad is an awesome person to do business with and helps you out with ANY problems you have.
the 396 is more pricey but you will have a much easier time breaking the 500 horsepower mark (depending on your setup you want) and will have some issues with keeping it under 180 or 160 (depending on which thermostat you use) without a good tune

if you try to buy a block on golens site, before you can give any information chad forces you to give him his phone number so he can talk to you about what setup you will be running and what can be done to best suit your needs. its excellent
i have golen's 383. comes well assembled with no cut corners or lazy spells. ask chad and he'll give you anything you need for your buildup. buy the upgraded pistons and make sure you get stroker rods (mine didn't for some reason) and it comes blueprinted. It's the best workmanship and value for the price. Go with LE heads/cam or AI depending which side of the fence you're on and then you'll love it!! check impala forums, too, a lot of those guys use them.
