Figured I'd share some SBC **** with you guys. It's a HSR'd, Paxtonized, all forged 383. Can't wait to fire it up and get it tuned.

 

Nice engine compartment full o' stuff you got goin' there.

If it were mine, I'd be chompin' at the bit to get that thing fired up and tuned too.

Good Luck

 

What HP output are you looking from that one?

 

im betting on "enough" LOL

 

Yea, who cares?! Just gun it!

 

HP should be in the "enough" range until it gets tuned,, then the shot goes on just to make sure there is extra "enough"... lol

 

there any way to to a 383 stroker conversion to a TBI motor?

 

assuming you have a 305, yep

- Take your 305 out, and throw it in the garbage.

- Buy a 350 block, have it bored .030 over, and build a 383.

It is impossible to build a 383 out of a 305, the 305's bore is way too small.

 

Uh......is that a blower????.....:lala:

 

Confuzed,, that thing on the driver side is an older Paxton SN-89 ball type centrifugal supercharger, only capable of boosting at 9psi right now. I want a bigger one, (don't we all) but the funds just arent' there yet. Maybe next year?

OT- looks like we have a couple things in common,, I'm currently an ETC(SW/AW) with 18 years in, so getting close to being like you and retired.
Also, the GO PACK GO,, my hometown is Kenosha WI, and am a huge Pack fan.. Cool.

 

I guess we have a few things in common then....I'm in Kenosha right now! Feel free to look me up if you're back around these parts.

That's gonna be one strong motor you have there...I predict you'll need some suspension upgrades next in order to get all that power to the ground!! Looks awesome.

 

I already have the Spohn Torque arm and LCA's, and a BMR Panhard bar. I still need shocks,, the list never ends.

OT-And I'll try to look you up. Do you go to Union Grove at all? I used to go to that track all the time growing up.

 

Nah, I've never had it on the track, nor have I ever raced on any track.....yet!

Only reason I know first hand about the suspension issues, is because I have a simular dilemma. No way to get a good launch w/o spinning.

I'm looking into a 9" to install this winter, along with a torque arm. Right now I still have the 3.73:1 one-legger. I just dropped this engine in about a month or so ago....

 

That looks nice!! And you kept the AC, which is nice too. I wanted mine gone, so I deleted it. Dammm, a 3.73 and a peg leg?? I'll bet you're spinning all over the county. lol. I've got the POS 2.77 with a posi, but I have 3.27 gears and a carrier sitting in the closet. We'll see how it does with the new gears sometime hopefully soon. Having a series 3 carrier really helps my gear selection.

 

go pack go...

 

now thats a sweet *** engine:hail:

 

is there ever enough?

 

Good Point!! In my case,,, NOPE.
