I would check your local engine builder or machine shop, so you can see first hand what you're getting before you buy it.

I'd stick with GM, you know what you're getting. I've heard so many engine-building horror stories.

yeah, the local engine shop doesnt have too much of a variety. its a good shop and they gave me some good prices on building but the labor is more than the parts which i'm not liking at all. i can do most myself but the machine work.....

Get used to it. Now-a-days labor is always more than the parts.

yeah i know.....shortblock is prolly just the way to go then. hard to find cheap 1 pc. roller shortblocks advertised though....

Morley

Its going to be cheaper to get a shortblock than have all the machine work done to yours, unless you know a machienest or something.

I found this place while looking around. $1800 for a 383 short block..not bad.
