maybe the reason no one has answered in the past is because it's a very simple and genaric questions you're asking. pick up a jegs catalog and you'll find everything you're looking for. reemmber you aren't in a chat room, type your words out, makes it esier to read and if it's easier to read you may get mopre response to your thread.

Im sure people can read it fine and jegs doesnt show much for a double roller for the newer block. What is it with people on here get huffy over little things and i know ur gonna say u wasnt but sounded like u was. Also if it is simple that means it wouldnt be that hard to help out this is a board used for help usually.

u can get all yer parts from a paw catalouge or a local machine shop. Things tah r over looked in a 383 build are clearancing and balancing.
What size rods r u uzin? 5.7"? 6.0"? did ya know u might have some issues clearing the cam depanding on the size of the base circle?
Try a search of this board for "383" or "stroker" dude. There are alot of people who have allready asked these q's in the past even recently.

Stay under 500 lift and you won't have cam clearance problems. Want more lift? Get 1.6 rockers.
