Forged 383 Rotating Assembly Suggestions

**Huff035** · 11-11-2009, 10:26 PM

Well as some of you know I have been convinced to build my car. I plan on building an all forged 383, with either a P1SC or a D1SC. Just looking for some suggestions on a rotating assembly. Don't really have enough knowledge yet to make up my own kit. I've gotten some suggestions but would like some more. Budget for the rotating assembly is $1900-$2300. Hopefully thats enough of a range for a good one, but we all know how "budgets" go...

Thanks in advance!

good stuff, and u only want to buy brand new stuff right?

Correct, only new. Probably will end up going ported heads and intake for now.

Here is a link to a suggestion that I was given.

you might have to up the cc volume on those 16 cc pistons to 22cc depending upon how much boost ur going to run so u can run a safe compression ratio. bur that is the same kit in my 383 with the 16cc and it had a small blower on it and can handle a bigger one too.

Huff, what are your power goals. That's going to dictate a LOT of how much you spend. In my case, my rotating assembly was costly. $750 for a Lunati Sledgehammer crank. $1200 for Lunati Pro-Billet Rods. $650 for custom Diamond pistons.

Now, you can go VERY close to the same parts, just go with a forged Lunati rod for about $500-600 IIRC, and that would put you pretty close to your rotating assembly goal.

My suggestion would be to find a reputable local engine shop and talk to them. I had my motor built at a good shop 2 miles from my house in NJ, and they were Lunati/Diamond dealers to boot so it just worked out.

Spend what you can for the best components you can. In a high HP build the little things start to matter (chamfering on the crank counter weights, rod weights, ect).
