rebuildable 383 fs $400 firm
the guy i bought this from did not understand how to store an engine, he left it dry and uncovered in his basement, lots of surface rust, ill get some pics up later, heres some info:
JE forged pistons(i think 10cc dish iirc)
Eagle i beam rods and crank
ARP rod and main bolts...
1pc rear main seal...
needs crank polished, rings, honed and might as well put in new bearings,
2 bolt block and complete rotating assembly
should make a pretty cheap 383 especially if u can do most of the work yourself, im moving to a house with a smaller garage and im not gonna have room to have this sitting like it is now
$400 firm, its worth it.
located in Lords Valley PA 18428 i can deliver within 100 miles for $475 cash or maybe trade for some 16" drag radials and a little cash?? also interested in a complete WCT5 swap

lol it doesnt have a cam.... its a 1pc rear main seal block... which were all TBI or F.I from the factory... you put whatever heads cam intake etc etc on it and make it do what u want cam choice is probably the only thing that REALLY matters as far as carb/F.I. goes

I am drawing a blank here so excuse me if I'm wrong. The newer (first gen vortec year) small blocks had provisions for mechanical fuel pumps but I can't recall if they were just castings.
