    yep a 383 by the time you run the price list down it is not going to be a low buck build and there things you need to watch when building a 383 may be fun in some lite car . but at the end of the day CID rule and your moving a truck . a 489 /496 / with a stock bbc block use a mark 6 roller block and a set of good heads be at about the same price as a 383 . or abit more for a 510 i have them to and have 113/127 more cid the eagle rods are ok but the cranks are so/so your better with the scat cranks just a better crank casting and over all finish . i was thinking that eagle just had a bad run but seen to many to think that any more . as for were to get one there is two guys on here that build and machine engines not hard to get what you need may be hard to stay only at 400/450hp
