Are there any books or in depth step by step guides on doing a rebuild like this? I have limited knowledge on the process and would love to be able to do this myself. I've removed the entire intake system and it's been a blast. Hopefully I remember how to put it back together! Working on this motor is almost therapeutic. There is just something about taking apart an old tired motor, cleaning and rebuilding it into something more powerful that is just awesome.

 

Well here is a good read that will get you started out some. Gives some of the basics of the build of a 383 stroker
