Default 383 kit?

What types of mods have to be done to the block,or is there a rotating assembly that you can just put in? Who makes a good one and what price am i looking at.I have a block and want ot build a 383 and then swap it once its built. What type of lift is good for a stock motor with bolt ons? What is streetable for cams, im talking %75 street use and %25 track?

All the info you need can be found with that cool little search button up top. Check out Texas-Speed.com, they are a sponser here and I do most of my business with them.

The best think you can do is just buy a preassembled 383 shortblock from one of the sponsors. TSP is one of the best and is who I am going to go with when I order my bottom end. You would be looking at about 3600 to buy the shortblock.
