383 w/o clearance work

I've seen a couple of posts recently that mention 383 stroker rotating assys that don't need any block clearance work.
I'm currently searching for parts to build a 383, and if there are parts out there that don't require block machining I would be very interested.

i very seriously doubt you'll be able to build a 383 without clearance work on the block. i had a TON of grinding to do on mine when i built it. something like 16 places on the block needed ground.

The only time I have gotten away without having to grind for clearance was with the use of 5.56 400 rods and off the shelf 350 pistons.

Thx for the replies guys!
Any one else?
I'll be needing to buy parts soon.
The machine shop called and they need my pistons to bore/hone the cyls.
