Way to go Ry! You will enjoy the 383. Smart approach too. Is your fuel system up to the task?

Not sure where they are Tony I bought the motor 2nd hand brand new off a member on LS1Tech. How is the company good or bad? And I'd be really happy with 500 rwhp and 450 rwtq.

Smoke is actually because its freezing cold outside. Nothing is wrong with the 346 it doesnt burn oil or anything like that.

Thanks Ron. I'm looking to mainly up the TQ output. So hopefully the extra cubes and new cam will help out. Fuel system is 36# injectors and Walbro 255 intank pump. You think that will be up to the task?

Ryan, HKE is out of Houston. The owners names is Eric. And yes the company is good. Eric know his stuff. He's one of the premier builders down here in Texas. You will will be more than happy with the motor.

Make sure to post up some pics when it's in.

Sounds like the engine upgrade is really going to ratchet things up a bit. I may have said it before, but your thread should be bookmarked for anybody that needs to see what the proper stance on a 69 should be. Your car nails it.

Nice Ryan! Can't wait to see it run in April!

The cam they have specked for you, is it a good street cam, and what heads intake will you be using, 500 RWHP thats pretty stout for a 383, and could you post up all the info on the motor as well. I might be going that way also, I have a 383 block for my 69 that came with it, nothing special just two bolt main, LS not in the picture rite now.. for my project. Thanks Keith
