Chevy 383 motor and extras
**SOLD**
Ran great, 400 ft/lbs off idle. This motor was built for a truck, but would drop in under a TPI nicely since it has the 87-up intake manifold bolt pattern. That was my plan till the vehicle got too rusty.
You could also swap out the pistons for dished ones and run some serious power adders, the motor was built for it.
Outside shows some dirt and corrosion, but I have pulled the valve covers and pan and the inside is pristine. Less than 10K on it as after the rings seated it was just taken on a couple trips and driven on weekends.
Block prepped at Carlquist Competition Engines CT.
2 bolt mains, .30 over 1981 2 piece rear main seal block.
Completely hand built and blueprinted. CC'ed chambers and hand ported heads to take flat top pistons and still run 87 octane.
Extras you can have if you need for free:
I can take additional photos on request, I have lots of extra parts that I would throw in.

Damn, what a shame that the car rotted.
You should consider finding another 3rd gen to put this into. You already have all the parts.

I'm moving across the country soon so I'm trying to get it to someone who'll do just that!
