Another 383 stroker thread! I finally decieded to tear into my motor... its just to slow for me! lol..
I plan on goin with a 383 stroker... I have a friend helping me out with part choices but he was telling me a:
-400 crank
-stock rods
-speedpro pistons/flat top/dual valve... (that sound right?)
I'm goin with the CC306 cam, Im using ported stock heads and intake...
-1.6 RR
-Harden pushrods
-Guideplates
-Im thinking 918 beehive valve springs....
-Longtubes....
With this setup, should I feel safe to spin my motor up to the cams recommendation?! 6300-6400rpms??
I want to use this cam to its full potential!
If you have any recommendations, feel free to put your 2 cents in!

You can't use a 400 crank in an LT1. All 400's are 2 piece rear main seal. You need a 1 piece RMS crank. Eagle and Scat both make affordable cast stroker cranks to fit an LT1.
You need a 1 piece RMS SBC 3.75" stroke, internally balanced crank.

Mojave is right. You will need an aftermarket 1 piece seal crank. As for the stock connecting rods, I would go with a set of eagle rods just because of the ease of mind. Then after you decide you want to bolt on a big blower or run nitrous you won't have to worry about snappin that rod and chucking it through the pan like I did. And that was with 125 horse shot of nos. Definately go with a set of eagle rods.
