i not a big fan of the 383 with 5.7 I beam rods you may have to nip the rods this is to make room for the cam to clear if it is a thru bolt rod then you will be cutting on the head of the rod bolt and the side of the rod . if you go with a I OR H beam rod with a cap screw then if need be you can cut on the rod with out the worry of hurting the rod bolt by cut it .for room for the cam . you can go to a small base circle you may have to do both this would have to do with your rods .i would build it with a cap screw rod s . I rods may be lighter mass but if you go to the low dollar I beams rods then i would move up to the H beams and if you have some money to throw at it then a set of howards crowers I beams would be a good rod you also should look at the powder howards/gkn rods they are very good and that new scat# scr5a7 orscr6a7 rod they say is porfiled for a stroker if low dollar then i would pay a bit more an get the scats. all are good rods it just has to do with how much money you want to spend on the rods and rpm and HP .. the vortec head going to do any thing at 600 lift????
