i did. everthing else was all right number 6 cylinder was the only one messed up

383's are usually a .030 over cylinder bore. you will have to determine that before cramming the pistons in a new block. check your crank for a nick or gauge also. they tend to get beat up also from a hit like that.

Take the block to a machine shop and have them assess the damage. You may be able to sleeve the bad cylinder and rebalance the assembly with the new rod and piston. Next time, you might want to install a MSD box with a rev limiter.

ok i will do that thanks
