Oh I will, I tore it apart the other day and so far everything looks good, found a set of heads and a complete engine yesterday.

Making progress

if you are rebuilding the engines, you might as well make them 383's. as long as you are buying pistons for a rebore, they are same price and the 3.75 stroke crank new is not much more than a regrind on existing cranks. you need to rebalance the engines.

At this point I don't want to go to crazy with the build, 300-350 HP is all i'm shooting for at this point I just want to get the thing in the water. The only thing I might do is bore them out it just depends on how the cylinders look.

Why do I need to rebalance the engines? The only thing that is going to change would be new pistons
