[[email protected]]

I am building a 383 sroker for my 1997 4wd auto 410 gears Tahoe
I am looking for cam lifter and heads . would like to build as a low end strong engine.
Any help in picking some good combos ?
Thanks in Advance

Depends on how much you want to spend and what HP/torque you want. Here's a kit, just throw a FiTech or Holley EFI on top of it and go.

I built a 6" rod 383. 11:1 compression. Cam is 218/228 @ 0.050, .578/.578" lift, 110 lsa, 106 icl. Running 1.7:1 roller and Rhoads VMax lifters. Ported Assault racing heads that ended up at 210cc ports flowing 290+ cfm. Running a Marine dual plane MPI intake with an edelbrock intake plenum and 87mm GM throttle body. Thorley tri-Y headers. Idles like stock, makes great low-end torque and pull cleanly past 6,000 rpm.

That is the info I was looking for thank you very much, I am going to go with 9.1 compression and for now stock intake, Because I live in New York and have to have a erg valve for inspection

What was all involved for the marine intake, and is it really that much better over a stock truck intake?

Stock Vortec is 9.4. Can tune it for EgR delete, long as light ain’t on.

How much more would that give ya?

They are rated in slightly different ways but a Marine Cam/Intake makes the 350 marine engine 300 hp and 370 ft/lbs of torque.
