350 block and 400 crank plus some other stuff

My dad just gave me a big engine stand and a 350 block to work on as a project and NO you CAN'T have it!
The 350 threw a rod so the rods and pan are no good but the block looks okay. I thought I might build a 383 as my first project engine since I can get a 400 crank for free and I know someone with lots of extra parts where I can get the balancer, flexplate, and pan, oh and maybe even a camshaft.
Looks like I gotta buy rods and pistons and probably a bunch of other stuff before I can get started well
I'm sure you guys build a lot of those 383 engines so I was looking for ideas on what parts to use and how to make them work in my car. So lets hear some good stuff so I can look it up online or in catalogs.
I'm trying to learn how to do that computer tuning as well.
thanks!

Chris I loved your site!
I put a link to it on my site and I hope you don't mind. I would love to get many of my parts coated either professionally or do it myself so I can learn how.
Those pics of coated TPI's are awesome! :yourock:
cool stuff
thanks

Coating the parts is Easy.. The main thing is PREP..
