This Chevy 383 crate engine by Tuff Dawg Engines would be EXCELLENT for just about any TBI pickup truck, suburban, blazer, 4X4, RV, or passenger car including Camaro and Firebird. This is a direct bolt in to pull out that tired 305 or 350 and bolt in some extra power to bring that old vehicle to life. It is computer compatible and has a smooth idle, great low end and midrange power, and works well with either a manual or automatic transmission. The included Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold is for TBI fuel injection only (Chev 350 or larger injectors are required for this engine). This engine will run on leaded or unleaded pump fuel. It will pass emissions and you can even run your stock computer!

The balanced rotating assembly (typically includes crankshaft, pistons, rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and balancer) featured in this engine:

• 3.750" stroke cast/steel crank
• 5.7" forged rods with ARP rod bolts
• 9½ to 1 compression hypereutectic pistons

More special features of this engine include:

• Seasoned 4-bolt main block with one piece rear main seal to prevent oil leaks
• Deck head gasket surface on block to ensure a good seal
• New Hydraulic flat tappet cam with .448"Int/.472"Exh valve lift
• TBI heads get magnafluxed for cracks, thermal cleaned, and steelabrated. All new guides, 1.94"Int/1.500"Exh valves, 3-angle valve job, and new high performance 1.250" springs setup to match cam
• New Screw-in rocker studs so they can't pull out
• Both head gasket surfaces get resurfaced to ensure a good long-lasting seal
• New Perfect Circle rings
• New Double row timing set
• New High volume oil pump with welded big pickup screen and steel drive shaft and steel guide
• New 1-pc design molded rubber oil pan gasket with load limiters to prevent over-tightening and higher temperature resistance than standard cork-rubber gaskets
• New Brass expansion plugs
• New Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold for TBI only
• All parts are painted separately before assembly for that show quality look
• No need for a special flywheel or flexplate like other 383's you see, this engine is balanced so that you can reuse the flywheel or flexplate off of your 1987½-1995 305 or 350

This engine comes completely assembled with oil pan, chrome bowtie timing cover, harmonic balancer, chrome valve covers at no extra charge, and an Edelbrock aluminum TBI intake manifold.
