guaging interest in 383 long block
383 long block all new parts had 300 miles on it when I burnt a ring it has since been rebuilt new bearings/rings yada yada
350 block it's been bored/honed to 0.30 over checked for cracks etc
eagle I beam rods
eagle cast crank (1 piece rear main seal)
srp flattop pistons with valve reliefs 9:8.1 compression
morroso high volume oil pump
cloyes double roller timming chain
el cheapo stamped 1.6 ratio rockers (going to want to replace these)
s/r torquer heads with 180cc intake runners
with better heads the motor would fly.. must be local to IL and make me an offer.

injector plug popped off and drove about 30 miles on it before I really noticed the hesitation because I wasn't really getting on it.. drove 30 miles on a dry cylnder.
