Ok i wanna ask some questions about the bottom end. Its gonna be a 383 stroker 1 peice rear seal 4-bolt block.
4340 H beam rods 6.0"
Knifed edged crank with lightened holes and rod throws
KB sig series flat tops
Now what about the main caps should i get studs will they really be needed since its a 4 bolt. I might be runnin it up to around 6000-6500 sometimes since i was thinkin of goin with a mini ram. Also what about a windage tray would i need 1 or could i just go with a bafled pan?? Would the stock oil pump and a stock timing chain be fine. Thanx any suggestions would be great since in the next 2 weeks im ordering the parts for the bottem end i alrdy put some money down.

 

sounds like you're running cheap piston on good rods and crank. no you wouldn't "need" a windage tray, but i'd consider it and if you do you'll need a way to attach it so buying a set of studs for it would make sense. use a m55 pump with a mr gasket #26 spring and weld a brace from the pick up and bolt it to the body

 

what pistons would u recamend.
