I'll do some research. Found a 2 bolt main crate 5.7 for around 1900. Ships in 4 months tho... damnit.that's not a stupid question, one of them is stronger than the other and I'm not sure which one that is.
Seems doable. There's a machine shop near me I'm gonna call them on Monday and see what they say. Would love a 383.It’s not all as hard as it seems at first and honestly if your not super worked up about it needs to be done today and the block is still fine. You could just have a machine shop turn it into a 383 for you and have them reman the heads or get other vortec heads and have them remanned. It will be a lot cheaper that way. I think for my stroker kit it was around 1000 plus tax and than 1200 for the clearancing boring honing cleaning and resurfacing. I had my heads resurfaced and clearanced for more lift for 400. As long as you do a lot of research most things are accomplishable. Also look up how to set proper lash for pushrods before you put them back in. Best way to learn is to just do it IMO.Merry christmas
