MY 383 Build by Chris Hardwood @ Extreme Motorsports:
I am so very pleased to announce:
Next week Chris out @ Extreme will be getting started on my 383 build. He will be pulling my L-98 350 and gutting it. The block and heads will head off to the machine shot. Recently I had the 700-r4 completely rebuilt Bullet proof style with a shift kit. I updated the 1700 stall to a 2200 stall converter. The 383 build up on my 87 c-4 that I recently had for sale. But after some time and 3 buyers backing out I decided to go ahead and finish what I started. Most of my new guts will be coming from summit racing. A list will be added as it’s available. I will be documenting everything and posting when I can. Notes and pic's when available. The new upgraded Tranny paired with an upgraded power plant should not only add many years of enjoyment but also add a custom touch and a little more value to my 78,000 mile 1987 c-4. Dyno and toning specs along with pic’s and commentary will be added thru the build process. Thunder |
What are your plans/goals? Should be fun when finished.

well first was the trany since i had trouble with it on the way home from my honeymoon. was just gunna sell it but then i snapped a ring on the number 7 cylinder. well i wont sell anything thats broke. so after a few convos with chris desided to have him go ahead with the 383. Goals lol keep up with rich z when i go on my first cruse lol. i may not be able to pass him but i will ride the hell out of his rear bumper. for now just do the build and after the toon and dyno go from there. hope to have everything completed in a few weeks. that includes sending my injectors off and the 2 or three trips to the machine shop for boring, cleaning and balanceing.
we will be cleaning up the engine compartment mean time. hopefully upgradeing shocks and brakes. some of the list: eagle 383 rotating assemble 3.75 stroke crank Forged pistons, rings and bearings Compatition valve job. more to come alot more::: here you find chris and i my weding day oct24th 2009 this will be my starting pic. Notice the rocker pannel lol. When you see me in the rearview dont blink i wont be there long. |

Should be a fun and exciting time for you. Just don't get anything built by World Products and maybe your build will go lock clock work.... :thumbsup:
Chis needs to hurry this along because my engine should be in his shop by the end of this month. :hehehe: As far as keeping up with me, heck that won't be hard to do. I'm assuming your car will do the speed limit along with mine.... :lmao: |
lol rich yes mine does the speed limit with exstreme pred. ( aggressively)

Another guy "married to his Vette". :rofl1::rofl1::rofl1: The "bride" even wore white for the occassion! :lmao::lmao::lmao: Couldn't resist that one! Good luck with the build of the 383. I've had a chance to see some "383's" and they all appear to be a wicked combo. Hope your's turns out better than you hope for. Andy. :wavey: |
well the 383 will be better matched to mt bullet proof trany then the 350. now i am glad i went from a stock 1700 stall to a 2300stall.
