Eagle 383 Stoker?????????

**schrysler** · 08-23-2007, 09:55 AM

Does anyone think it would be worth it?

I have an Eagle crank as the foundation for my 383. What's not to like? However, there are some very competively-priced 402/408 set-ups that don't cost much more than building a 383. The 4.00 bore opens up a lot of choices for heads and valve size, wheras the 3.90 bore in my 383 is limited by physical valve size and valve shrouding.

Now are those prices for just the block? I am hoping to use my ls1 block.

I would like to be around 500-525rwhp with similar torque,....I too am interested in the options there are for resleeving the LS1 and making it into a stroker.

For a 383 you will re-use your block and replace the rotating assembly, unless you buy an entire short-block. The nice thing about a 383 is that if you already have nice heads, you can re-use them as well. If you go up to a 4.00 bore, the 3.90 heads will probably be less than optimal...

You could definitely make that 525rwhp target with a 383, but it won't be cheap. It would probably cost about the same as a 550rwhp 402/408...

**Wheeler99WS6** · 08-26-2007, 01:45 AM

hmm.....if it would be the same as far as cost I believe I would go with the more cubes on a iron block....or are you talking about 402-408 on my stock block?

Can't do a 4.00 bore on your stock block without a resleeve, which would defeat the purpose. I'm not keen on putting the extra 80-100lbs on the nose of the car with an iron block if I don't have to. Check out some of the packages from Texas Speed for short-blocks.

no kidding....tell us more! Would he be willing to hook us up like that too? 3k for install and all? That is sweet. I would definitely look into getting a 12 bolt and decent stall to go with it. How about tuning?

he only builds motors. he did me a favor and installed mine for 600. now it depends on what you want inside. tell me what motor and hp# your looking for and ill give you some prices. btw he gets 15% off most whole sell prices so if you do buisness with him he will help you all he can. like i said pm me and we will talk. i dont want to do this on the thread because he is not a sponsor. and i do respect all the sponsors here, or we would have a great site like this.
