Thank you for working with Randy at Auto Auction Rebuilds on a fantastic engine build. You have yourself another subscriber. Can't wait to check out other videos of yours!
Came over from watching Randy’s channel and I’m very impressed. Will definitely be subscribing and keeping you guys in mind when I’m ready for a new build .
I THINK U MEANT TO SAY "AUTO AUCTION WALK AROUNDS" THERE AIN'T NO RESTORING OR REBUILDING GOING ON THERE. LOL. Now this channel is a different story..... great things happen here.
Great engine build. Thanks for sponsoring Randy at AAR with this engine build. I currently have a project I would like to build and will definitely consider your products.
@@lit549 not really since its below the 500hp threshold. 650 will support up to 500hp. I could see that argument if they had thought the motor would go over that and then was restricted or if it wasnt going in a street car/
@@cuzz63 Engine shop used a 750 on their dyno. Never got around to Dyno'ing with my BG Demon 750 but it pulled a lot harder. 13.0 1/4 mile w 650 Edelbrock & 12.6 with the 750 Demon. But I also had pocket ported heads & port matched rpm intake So the better breathing made a difference.
Those are some extremely nice upgrades to that block. Two detail items I’d like to know more about. How much lobe lift does that block allow before the oil pressure band comes out of the block? I know there are some lifters with work arounds for this. Just cost associated like in most cases. The other item is cylinder distortion under torque plate honing conditions . Those blind head bolt holes are a plus no doubt and I know that those head bolt holes were CNC machined and much more accurately located than the factory based engines are. When decking these style blocks the head bolt threads being flush with the deck makes it necessary to champher the bolt holes. For this reason it would be very nice if those head bolt holes had a counter bore depth before the threads began. I’m sure it could be done and still accommodate a common length ARP stud. Just think that it would improve overall quality and even help the manufacturing process. Couldn’t add more than a minute to the cycle times. Over all those are major nice upgrades. A 4 1/4” bore ?
Do you guys also offer a 4.125" bore SBC or just the 4.000" ? In terms of the added material that you mentioned going into the block, is that more or less a substitute to allow all perpendicular main fasteners rather than outside splayed ? How about Billet Main Caps as an upgrade ? Very nice looking block. The cam thrust plate is also a nice addition.
All i kept thinking was 'overbuilt for only 480 hp'. Thinking to my 500 hp 500 lb torque 1971 block with 400 crank & hypereutectics Run since 1999 with No problems.
Long live the SBC! I heard of you today from a friend who just ordered a short block. Very impressive how you are making all your own parts, and it's a good idea to use a 4.000 bore with a 3.8 stroke to get the 383 cubes. What is the make of the HEI dist?
Why would you not use a 4032 aluminum forged pistons? Wouldn't that be more suitable for a performance engine? I guess I've seen to many explode in circle track racing and that's very similar to drag and drive out power tour type of situations and heat cycles or loads. Just my opinion nice build either way guys.
That is a (SMOKING DEAL) on your "POWER ADDER" shortblock with that block! If i had the coin i would throw it down right now as i planned to build a all forged AFR headed version to replace my GM ZZ430 clone. I do wish you had a normal 350CI.. It would also be cool as crap if you guys did "RETRO" 302CI, 327CI, and 396CI Small blocks as well.... What is the Max HP rating that block of yours can handle? I wanna add 15psi and shoot for 750hp+ /650RWHP... 90% street engine... But i want it to last. And what oil pump do you guys use? Melling "Sharktooth"?!? Those are the one i had planned to get.
I'm fixing to copy a David Vizard 383 build, where they got 620hp on pump gas! I'm going to copy it step by step, part by part. It's here on UA-cam if anyone else is interested in building a 600+ horsepower pump gas 383 sbc.
@@cuzz63 a 180 is what you mostly use with dual plane intakes. just bump up the cam duration but the fact it still makes 480hp with a dula plane and 180 heads says a lot more about the combo as a whole than the Chinese heads alone
No soaking the roller lifters in heavy oil before install? No builders grease on push rods or rocker rollers? Let's hope that you run the oil pump and rotate the engine by hand before you fire it up on the Dyno. I suspect lifter and cam failures - am I right or are you doing the things that we didn't see in the video?
@@ABetterLifeInc I run a 71 LT1 350 with 4 bolt mains I'd say your fine until you get in the mid 500's for torque Now a 2 bolt main block yeah 450 or so probably pushing your luck
I'm a bit young, honestly I'm only 13, but im building a race car right now, does anybody have any recommendations on what kinds of parts I should use? I'm starting with a 480hp 383; Specifically this model, any help is appreciated greatly!
my 30 over 350 makes more power than that. how can you have a 1/4" more stroke and not even make as much power? Obviously, you did something different (perhaps wrong?). Guess I'll have to watch, just to see what's up. Or it may be a case of apples vs oranges - different goals - different results. Compression ratio - I'm running forged pistons at about 10.25 to 1. Valvetrain - True roller here - get those steep cam profiles that really breathe. Heads - I'm running Brodix Track-1's - best breathing 23 degree head I could find - beats airflow, edelbrock, etc. Induction is another difference. I'm running an Offenhauser Individual Runner Intake with twin 390 double pumpers with non-progressive linkage. It's basically an eight one-barrel carbs setup. Nice block, BTW. All I have is a Summit 4 bolt with a Moroso two-piece rear seal adapter, and a two-piece rear seal forged Chevy steel crank. Given the differences between the two builds, everything makes sense. I wonder how they compare on cost. From your website, your stuff seems pretty reasonably priced. Mine is actually a re-build of a 30-year-old hot rod motor. I was able to re-use the crank and cam and had to replace everything else - even things like the distributor and water pump and the twin aluminum big block radiators and 4 cooling fans that keep it streetable.
Funny thing is with a lt4 hot cam I’ve made over 510 hp out of my 355 vortec flat top piston 7/16th screw in studs cut down guide bosses 3000 stall shift kit th350 built th350also 373 8.5 posi u had to do all that with a 383 and still didn’t achieve what I’ve done in a few months
@@denb3607 stock 906 vortec heads cast iron heads just get then ported and get the guide bosses cut down 3 angle valve job 7/16th screw in studs with the hex shaft on there be sure to get ur spring height installed correctly since u added the shaft 510 on a dyno
Okay so again that was the exact setup I was going to use I have the vortec heads cast iron which I have not done anything with yet . Then I was going to get the lt4 hot cam but it looked as only if I was going to come up about 450 horses and the same for torque. my zz4 has flat top pistons as well giving me about 10.1 compression with the vortec heads.
Thank you for an amazing engine! It just arrived today so the Monte Carlo SS is about to be torn down! EPIC video!!

I'm looking forward to seeing Randy put that into his 1987 Chevy Monte Carlo SS! Very Cool!
All I can say is WOW so cool thanks for building that sweet engine for Randy.
nice to see everyone wanting to do an ls swap. making the price for a small block chevy more affordable.

Thank you for hooking up AAR man we sure appreciate what you do the hard work you put into building those balanced engines!!
Man that cam lope is perfect. And the engine sounded awesome on the dyno!
Came over to see Randys engine. Looks great!
I can't wait. I just older my 383 about two weeks ago and should get it in about two months 😁

Nice engine, cant wait to see Randy start the Monte Carlo with the new 383. The stock 5.0 v8 is ok, but nowhere near 480 hp.
Wow, that cam lope is exciting! Awsome!
Popped on over from Auto Auction Rebuilds to watch. Loved it.
Great video for Auto Auction Rebuilds of Randy's engine!!!
Great job with Randy's motor
Thanks for building a nice engine for Randy!
The best way to set valve lash right there 👍
Glad to see you guys ran a 650cfm carb..so many people over carb the motors.
Ehh, 750 would be the better choice on that build.

Awesome I'm torn between 383 and the 406. I had a blueprint sbc 396 in my 71 k10 short bed. Need more power. Lol 510 wasn't enough. 😂
421 is what you need
Are you going for street manners? For the price of a 600 hp small block drop in a big block and reap the benefits of big torque. Just a thought

Thank you for your knowledge and video's USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸
How much does this set up cost from carb to oil pan?
Thanks guys men thank you that you guys build this engine of randy
I'm thinking about saving up and buying an older Chevy truck with a 350 want to have it bored over to a 383
Very impressive
I like that the sleeves are longer to protect the skirts. What's the cost of this package
That's correct after the two 429 Cobra jet engines the second one had the oil going to the crankshaft first cause on the first the crank seized.
What?🤷🏻♂️…
What a smorgasbord of engines.
excelente video saludos desde mexico
Nice driver
Do you guys run an LS7 style roller lifter in these 383 SBC style combos? Great looking engine 👍🇦🇺
Excellent video! Great work! If you don't mind me asking, what assembly lube was he using in the oil can?
Is there enough room to run a double roller chain?
How much for the bear block honed and ready to assemble?
probably close to 2000

Great! More engine content!👍 Now, if i may be so bold as to ask, are we going to get some more content on your personal land speed engine?🤷♂️🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🤘🇺🇸
Wish someone would make a stroker kit for Oldsmobiles 350,403,455
You don't Degree the cam ?
Great job man

What's the total cost on that build? Ball park it
thanks for auto euction rebuilds 383
You don't measure rod bolt stretch? Just torque them? Or did I miss it? Thoughts on skipping what I understand is an important step??
One day i can be like u guys
I have a question. I noticed that you used brass freeze plugs but you used steel plugs in the cam and oil areas. Why is that?
I will definitely be contacting you about an engine soon !
Can you modify a 327 SBC into a 383 Stroker ???
What is rod length?
This block is it 350-305-400? And crank?
What's up with your new engine?
Why didn't you prime the oil pump?😂
Great engine build video, I like that you use the Hypereutectic pistons on a street engine.
How much for that build in this video?? Ive got a nice 1984 Monte Carlo SS. I dont need athe distributor or carburetor, need it shipped to North Ga.
did I missed it? How many cc and 1.5 or 1.6 rockers?
What distributor do you run in this SBC engine, music for video not to bad
Cheers
secondaries up front?
How much do you charge for a 383 stroker motor like the one you have that y'all just built
How much do you guys charge to build A 383stroke moter With 500 horse.
I need a 383 stroke for my 96 Yukon
Do you guys build any aluminum LS3 based short blocks? either standard 376 or 416 strokers?
Can you build new lt1 engines for 1994 corvette
What’s up with the land speed build??
Where can I buy a 383 like this
First 👍's up EG thank you for sharing 😅
Randy sent me 👍
If it is a 383, shouldn't it have 4.030 pistons? The ring compressor you used was 4.000. Are you just using the smaller compressor?
They used a 3.800 stroke crankshaft.
What's the price
That block is very impressive I like this setup you're putting together. 🍀💚🧩
What does this build cost?
What’s about the A/c
Do you have a file for the sniper tune for that engine? Im afraid of mine over compensating on the fuel on break in. For the 1st gen sniper.
