I would run a boosted 370 before a 383. stroker cranks seem to cut engine life shorter than stock cranks. gm sells a forged stock stroke crank from the ctsv for a bargain.

I tend to agree with stew. 370 over 383 all day.

If you want cubes, spend the same and get a 408. 383 doesnt make sense bang for buck wise.

That is a good deal.

I still think if you can source a 6.0 with a good crank it could be done for less. Sure youre giving up some cubes, but the stock stroke is strong, and they tend to live far longer lives before piston slap, or oil consumption are an issue.
