Welcome aboard.

As far as where to start you engine build post it would probably be best here.

Chevy-Small Block

Your 83 has (should have) a computer controlled engine. Your first step should be whether the car will need to go thru emissions testing and if so what are the acceptable limits on any modifications you make. It would be a shame to spend a bunch of money on an engine and the work to install it only to find out the car can;t be registered and driven.
