Another Sad Tale Turned to Smiles….

What started out as another sad tale of someone falling in love with a car, only to purchase it and find out all wasn’t as it seemed. With an allegedly ‘new’ stroker burning more oil than petrol it was dropped to us for further investigation…we were greeted by damaged bores and pistons and an engine combo that could never make the advertised power. As per the pictures, you’ll see it was anything but ‘new’….

We started with a re-sleeve and building a 383 that would exceed the power goals her owner was looking for. We added Sniper EFi, ICE EFi Ignition Control System, new custom fuel system, custom 3″ exhaust and a new, shortened 9″ rear and custom 4″ tail-shaft rounded the package off with a well respectable 468HP at the treads.

+100HP Upgrade

After two previous engine builds by another builder, both of which failed to meet the performance expectations of what was promised, we had the job of building the latest version….and the one that exceeded expectations!

With a completely new bottom end combo, but still maintaining the same head and manifold package, we managed to create a much more enjoyable drive (over 100HP @ wheels more) and one very happy customer!
