Chevrolet never built a 383 for production use. Many aftermarket suppliers have produced a 383 Chevy. It was originally built by taking a 400 crankshaft and having the main journals reground to fit a 350 block. The combination of the 400 crank and rods with the 350 block and pistons yields a reciprocating assembly with correct compression height. In standard bore, this would make 377 cubic inches. The 383 would be a .030" overbore.
Since most of those parts have been used up, the aftermarket now produces all new parts to build a 383.
It could be noted that Chrysler produced a 383 for many years during the 60's and 70's. It has nothing in common with the Chevrolet.
yes.
1,153 GTS darts with the automatic and 383 engine were made.
You buy the correct crankshaft, rods, and pistons and install them in your block.
You have to start out with a 350 Chevy engine for bolt main ,boarded over 30 change the crank case Pistons and rods if done correctly you should have 600 hp not 420
mopar 361, 383, 413, 426, 440, or the 426 hemi.
350 block, 400 crank. Main journals must be turned to accept 350 bearings. Stock bore is 377. .030 over is 383.
using a 350 Chevy big block with a slightly modified 400 crank. best be a 4 bolt main too!
You should get a 383 stroker. It is high powered and also affordable. The 383 stroker looks pretty dazzling when riding it down the street. It will be the main attraction on your car.
the 383 magnum engine roadrunner in 1969 had 335 horse, the 1968 383 roadrunner had 325 horse.
no
it should be any 4 bolt main small block, like a 305 350 383 400 327 you could even upgrade to a big block, but you may run into some trouble with engine mounts.
I believe 383 was a Chrysler engine.
