What brand is the crank and what are the rings? Thanks!
Can you use power adder
Is this short block compatible with VORTEC heads and intake for my 1998 L31 Silverado? Is it designed to accept factory hydraulic roller lifters and cam?
With your recommended gasket and an Edelbrock #60739 Performer RPM cylinder heads what would be my compression?
Is this your best option for a 383 replacement for my 1996 LT4. It does not appear you will accept it as a core replacement, it that correct? Thx!
What is the recameded balancer and flywheel. Do you have a link for them
