Default 383 question!

I'm getting my block bored and honed some time at the end of next week, and was wanting your guys opinion/what you have, for the brand of the internals!?!?

Not sure if it is ok to do this...But check with

A D Performance (bought the wifes kit for under a grand)

Stoker kits .com kits under a grand

Flatlander has lots

There is a place out of Nevada I buy alot of kits from also


Mod's if this is wrong just let me know. Not sure of any sponsors that carry just kits.

I noticed that Scat is cheaper, but as far as quality goes how are they? I was looking at a Scat forged 3.75 competition crank, scat 6.0 forged h beam rods and JE pistons!?!?

That is a good budget combo

I have made over 600RWHP on my Eagle crank and rods The Scat crank is a great part.

+1 on the eagle stuff. I'm currently running Eagle Forged Stroke kit, with SRP pistons and the Eagle Forged Hbeams as well. Good kit and had it done over 9 years with not one issue to date!

Thanks guys, i think i'm going to go with the Scat combo. As long as they are reliable thats all that counts for me! Then if i end up doing a nitrous setup later on i will probably change everything again!

Cola forged steel stroker crank (3.75); Manley H-beam forged rods (6-inch); JE Forged nitrous pistons (4.060) bore; all in a factory Corvette 4 bolt main block. Compression is ~11.1

That's what I have.

My opinion is that you should just do an LS7. If you've decided on building an LT1, a basic performance stroker kit should be fine.
