4bolt mains one peice RMS. -zero decked 383 eagle cast steel crankshaft 3.75" stroke 6" forged I beam rods KB Hyp flat top pistons w/ 2 valve reliefs. -7cc 64cc canfield heads 2.08/1.6 valves. stealth ram. 30# injectors. hedman shorty headers. im guessing this is aprox 11:1 CR ill be custom tuning this myself. whats your opinions on this setup? i have it all already just needs to be assembled now. how well do ya think i can do at the track?

Are you getting the balanced rotating assembly from eagle?? That set up that you are talking about is very similar, or could even be the same as the one I have. The only thing that I have had a problem is clearance issues between the SIR I-Beam rods with the cam. I returned the old cam and ordered a small base circle (1.050” base) and I am just waiting for it to get here so I can put it in (hopefully by next weekend). I hope that it fixes the problem but if it doesn’t then I’m going to have to take a little off the bolts. To avoid this problem all together you could get the ESP 3-D connecting rods but there like $300 more bucks!! But that set up will kick a**, can’t wait till mine is running. So what happened to your motor I see in big letters on your sig that it blew up!? What happened? Well I hope this helps out.

its not the eagle rotating assembly, i peiced it myself, i dont even know if the cam is gonna clear the rods yet havnt stuck it in so that may change. i just really dont know which cam is good for a 383

That’s cool that your going to piece it together, I think that my cam is a little too small for a 383 but I think it will do for now. Let me know what cam you do decide to go for. O and one more thing are you going to balance the assembly yourself or are you going to take it to a shop. I’m thinking that it would be best for you if you assemble the assembly including the cam to see if everything clears and if it doesn’t you can get it cleared and balanced all at the same time. It would suck if you had to balance your assembly twice which I might be doing. It might take longer but it could save you money!!

good point man! ill stick the cam in first and crank it all by hand to see if it all clears eh?

well i got to hit the sack im tired but good luck on that build and please keep me updated on what you do. later

Scroll about 3/4 of the way down this post. I think youll see "blowed up" is just putting it mildly

i think you need to get a cam or it isn't going to work at all

I just read about your motor dying on you. That’s really no good but at least you’re now going to a 383!!
