If it does turn out that your engine has serious issues you could always grab a good 350 from a salvage yard and drop it in. According to car-part.com they're going for between $6-900 in my area.

Yeah it’s pretty high I definitely cant afford it. The stock crate for me is around $3100, not too bad. It may get pushed off for a while if i end up buying a new truck though. I hate having problems with my truck, i miss it lol.I think that's what will most likely be done if the damage is too severe. 6g is too much. I see 350 about 2g but still never know. For now I'll tinker with the stuff I'm more comfortable with

You know i really wanted a 383 but then i got do thinking, just go ahead and get it on the road then worry about power later lol. You pay what it’s worth with a small block for sure.Yes I don't think too many of us have a 383 in the budget anytime soon! I need to get my front end work done and buy 2 tires, and my Burb has begun doing this thing where it needs a little extra gas on startup. Might be the coolant temperature sensor going bad, might be fuel pressure regulator, oh and yes it's a vortec so intake gaskets and fuel injection are needed.......I thought it was a Chevrolet not that money pit ferd.....at least it still runs! 383 would be my ultimate goal too. Everything good about a small block, but you do have to pay for it.
I dont think you absolutely have to, i think like you said it’s mainly to unlock all of the engines potential.So if I did get a 383, would it for sure have to get tuned? Gm says it's a drop in replacement, and tune are optional to get more power, but is it necessary? Everybody I've talked with says because i have a vortec I'll trigger codes if I do?

IIRC a member on here spoke highly of these guys and prices seem pretty good imo for the 383, if it comes to that.
good luck.

Your welcome , I’m not 100% sure but I’m pretty positive. Ive read it somewhere on here I’m pretty sure. If a dyno tune isn’t in your budget though and you would rather tune it than not I’d go black bear.Sounds good. Thanks
