383 build

howdy guys just droppin in to just see if you guys have any advice/tips on the build im planning on doing here. I will be getting help from a family member with putting it all together and then it will hopefully be quite a learning experience as well. The build i was interested in was on car crafters that i guess is rather budget but just wanna see what you think before i start opening up the wallet. the parts are:
Block, production, 1 piece seal


Scat crankshaft, cast, 1 piece


Scat Comp 5.7 I-beam rod


SRP forged piston


TFS 215cc aluminum head


Comp XR282HR cam


Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap


Demon 750 cfm mechanical secondary


Hedman 13/4-inch headers

A link to the page

They also have a dyno graph of what the motor put out and was said to be roughly 480 hp and 450 ft/tq.

So what you guys think? Any advice or feedback would be much appreciated

Re: 383 build

Sounds good to me but you likely will make abit more power with afr 210's or speier profiler 210's for same or less money. Run 1.6 rockers with that cam, get it in a tighter 108-110 lsa and you are up 500 hp or so. Trickflows are 1600+ and not even cnc machined
