383 Stroker?
383 Stroker? Hey guys I wanting to build a 383 but Im not sure on some things. Will I have to get a 400 balancer and a different flexplate? Also what size injectors should I run it has a cc306 cam and ported heads already.

What injectors are you using now? If they are at least 30lb you will probably be OK. A side note for your CC306. This cam generally won't clear the rods in a stroker. You may have to go with a small base circle cam.
i'm not for sure on the 306 cam. but I do know that I went with a low base circle cam when i went to 383. Also it's always a good idea, after you get your lower assembly (kit or individual parts) send it off ar take it to a local shop with the flexplate/flywheel and balancer that you're running and get it all rebalanced. And you might as well go with the 36# injector so you can have a little growing room.

My son had a 306 in his 383. He took all his parts to the machine shop and had everything clearanced. That is all it takes. Buy the parts you want to run and a machinist can make them work. How much hp do you want to make? I made 411 rwhp through an automatic with a hug converter so that is well over a 500hp motor all on 30lb injectors and they weren't even maxed out.
Im would like 500 flywheel hp I just found a rotating assembly I think Im going to buy. It has a SCAT 9000 crank, SCAT 6in. Forged I beam rods and forged pistons with rings, bearings, flexplate and dampner. So now I won't have to worry about getting it balanced all I have to do now is get the machine work done and clearance it. So is there a formula or somthing to figure out what size injectors I need or will 30lb work?
