Hello All-

I am new to this forum and new to the hot rod arena, I have hopes to buy a 3rd Generation Camaro soon and would like to get started on the engine ASAP, now to start the engine questions:

Should I start with a complete 350 engine, since the heads, pistons, rings, rods, and cams etc. are going out the window.... or would a 350 block be a more logical choice?

In either case any recomendations about year models or other things I should know when choosing a donor engine?

Now to the fun part, can anyone give me a total combination of engine parts I will need to create a strong performing street engine? Lot's of torque (hence the 383) run on pump gas, and be reliable is it possible to build a 383 to these criteria and if so what combination of heads, cams, rods, pistons etc. would you recomend?

And if anyone has any links to articles or websites of 383 builds that would be helpful......

Again thanks in advance for answering my ultimatley dumb questions......

Josh
