383 tips.

Can someone who's built a 383 stroker before give me some advice?
I've just started the project now, getting ready to send parts off to be balanced, but in the mean time I would like the find out the best way to get the crank and rods into the block. If someone could tell me how much and where to cut would be a great help. As well I have a hydrolic cam with 220 duratoin and a range of 2000-5500. I was advised to try to go with a larger solid lifter beacuse of the car and as well since its a 4-speed. Can anyone shed some light on these problems, and any other advise would be a huge help
