What most guys seem to ignore is not every engine is purpose built to achieve the highest horsepower. Look at the torque curve. He is making 517 ft/lbs of torque at 3500 rpm. This is a well built street engine that will paste your ass to the seat and still maintain street manners.
I've noticed there's more people then not that think that way lol There's a ton of people that need to learn it's a SBC and you can make them be however you want them to be and it's not always about having the most horsepower especially in a street rod!!! You build them for your application and a 350HP steet car or truck could smoke the doors off a 500HP engine built for top end power, if the race was around the block cause that 500HP will never even be unleashed if it gets made from 4-8k. Now take the same engines to the drag strip and it's the opposite because it's how u build them. When I build a street engine I don't even focus on HP all that much, my focus is on torque and bottom end like they should all be imo. What good is a ton of HP if you can't ever get your ride up to 5 or 6k
I love how you underrate the HP, and use the right CAM. Your V8 runs right, unlike most rods I see that are just overcammed, with lack of flow, and run like crap at any RPM, just to get that cam sound, and smell like unburned fuel. Power first! You got it RIGHT!!!
Its wonderful. 30 years ago I was a nutty corvette owner and this would have been the perfect second motor if the height could be dropped a few inches. My 300hp 1970 base model hood had very little clearance for any non stock intake manifold or larger carburetor. It had only an alternator and waterpump for acc. Super easy configuration.
These are so dated and oldschool compared to whats made now. But id much rather have one of these badass motors. So much easier to maintain and repair!! You also get the same effect of just getting down the road! And occasionally you will come across one that has its own personality.
This is exactly what I told the guy restoring my '73 Camaro when he suggested I just drop in an LS1. That old school sound matches the car and it's the same reason I don't put an evolution motor in my '82 shovelhead even though they are way more dependable, don't leak oil etc. These old cars and bikes are pieces of American history and I just love going back to a better time.
477 hp and 520 ft/lbs of torque with a water pump, alternator, and power steering pump attached? Thats how I dyno mine exactly as the customer is going to use it. Thats pretty decent power for a street car. The problem for the owner is going to be getting it to hook up.
Nov 2020 I got a 383 450 hp. Very disappointed. Ran good but there were 5 oil leaks. The breathers bottomed out and engine couldn't breathe. Blew out gaskets! They sent me another complete gasket kit but wouldn't cover any labor. I will have 20+ hrs in fixing the leaks.
Yes. They dynoed it and said there were no leaks. It was a quart low when I got it. I didn't think to check the breathers. Shouldn't have to. I will ask for a discount on the next one or just buy somewhere else.
hi Engines 100% hp done by 5800rpm , torque dropping like a boat anchor. Tq seems to have 2 peaks 3000--3500 and 4000-4500both over 500ftlbs. Holds above 475 ftlbs real well . Need more heads /cam/ inlet manifold to go hard over 6000rpm . Great economy and lotsa fun with almost stock gearing
Well I possibly have a rod knock even tho the damn motor in my truck was rebuilt last year idk what the hell these idiots did that I bought it of off anyway I kind of hope it’s one because I’m gonna buy a blueprint 383 stroker with big cam and all that
crateengines well I figured out that it was a cracked flywheel but it’s weird because it goes away after like 2 mins but anyway the motor came with the truck it’s not a bad one would prefer a 383 over the 350 tho
crateengines but on top of it being cracked they broke off a bolt that holds the converter to the flywheel and so they welded the flywheel to the torque converter there and I’m sure that didn’t help anything so I’m gonna have fun getting it off
@@yamahaguy1732 that's a common problem. Lots of that stuff you really have to be careful who you're buying stuff from. EVERYONE'S a mechanic and master engine builder...lol or so lots of them think. Many many small blocks and vehicles are or where molested at one point by someone who thought they knew what they were doing. The kind of DIY'ers that i wouldn't trust to change the oil in my push mower... as long as the flex plate is flat up against the crank and torque converter it'll be fine welded like that. It's just going to suck if you have to pull it. Since it's only a flex plate and not a flywheel, pull the flex plate cover off and rotate the engine by hand and see how much of the crack you can see. If you can get a gun in there to weld the crack, you could do that for now.
Jeremy Wilson the crank snapped back in September on my way home now I got a new blueprint engines 350 that makes about 400 hp and like 415 torque it’s great
Raul Zarate need a few more of these $$$$$$ .... The website has these listed base package no pulleys no carb no headers $8500. I can build the eagle stroker for around $3k . I stopped useing eagle junk and moved to scat or other custom ground cranks h beam rods and forged pistons and still don't charge this much. I'm not a hater, but these are extremely overpriced
@@seangangstad9597 Even using Scat (my choice now also) it ain't that much off in price from eagle. Beautiful looking stroker but I'm with you on the price lol Definitely getting his money back out of them lol Now if it had twin turbos or a blower then the price would be more realistic IMO
Wow, Gage Cook is again a variety of the lowest sucking trolls on the net. It is an engine package, not the maximum HP package and about where a stout 383 comes in. The man can build a 500HP engine, surely. Balance alone is never the problem with "stuff' breaking. That is ridiculous and ignorant. You have no credibility. The "stuff' you are talking about takes disproportionately more money and time to produce 500+ power in a 383 and make it reliable. And yes, even the the compromises that come with it, even fuel, to ensure it's safety. It is self evident you have never built, owned, or known what a 500 HP engine is. You surely have never paid to actually dyno one. In the mean time, move on while people with merit actually work to produce something of value. No reply to follow. Move on.
+jiff jiffernson you do realize that this motor is 10 thousand dollars American right? And I own a 1978 k20 with a 523 hp 383 that I daily drive and beat on every day. And yes. I did build the motor. It's not hard to make a reliable 383 buddy. Bearing clearances, good oil pressure, good coolant temps and a good tune is all you need to make something reliable. My truck will run everyday all day no matter what the temperature considering I live in Canada I can say I know how to build a reliable engine.

thats what i said. that is insane torque for a 383. and it still has a respectable hp number
I wish people would actually do shit them self. You guy think a 383 stroker motor is something or why everyone yous this cam.
valid point...them are big block torque numbers from a smaller package.
I have a 383 in my car, while its never been on a dyno it will blow the tire off even if I punch it at a 30mph roll.
I love how you underrate the HP, and use the right CAM. Your V8 runs right, unlike most rods I see that are just overcammed, with lack of flow, and run like crap at any RPM, just to get that cam sound, and smell like unburned fuel. Power first! You got it RIGHT!!!
I built a 383 with 650 hp!! Powerful mule!! Tons of torque!!😡🚘🚀
I have been saving money for one of these for 2 yrs im almost there 👍🏼 cant wait.
Hey Bro! Did you get that engine? Care to give us your thoughts? Thanks🇺🇸
Way to go man! I hope you got your engine and it's dropped in a hot rod.

That's the best job of running the ignition wires that I've seen from these guys. Nice job
That is one HAPPY sounding Small Block!!

Small block all the way more rpms big blocks sometimes ain't the way to go my opinion but nice build
thats my dads 383 were from australia :)
I am from aus and want to get one how much did he pay
That's awesome
👍🏼

Did you buy directly from these guys Terry?

Wow you're prices are outrageous
How much does one of the Engines cost?
I wanna put this in my TJ wrangler
Beautiful... nuff said
I love this Motor .
Love that 2day
looks and sounds awesome....
500 ft lbs @ 3000 rpm…….nice!
what is the timing set for that engine?
How do I buy one
New block casting? 4 bolt mains?
I dont think the block is new. Yes 4 bolt mains.
How much would something like this cost now days?
Can you build plus 500hp 383 stroker with a dual alternator setup? Alternators are mechman elite 400amps
Is this a bored out 350?
Blueprint is cheaper with the same results and all new parts including the block ,,, with a bigger warranty
You still have motors for sale
Can u send me a build sheet for a 383 stroker with roller cam assembly
How much do you sale for a 74 Nova
How much for that motor
What's the price in the engine
cmon WATS size on camwsts the lift ex int n durAstion
I'm going to call you for me a 383 stroker
Not bad 5200 $
Needs Scat internals and Afr heads though
I’ll take one just like that for $5200
How much
Nice

Wats that engine run in price
Joe Clauss
the price is between $5800dlls - $7300.
For a 383 stroker, the good thing
You’ll have a nice, clean, and powerful brand new motor 0 miles.
Price please as shown
What's your guess?

Kewall us
Wow. That's the lowest horsepower 383 I have ever seen😂
Gage Cook you're funny, maybe your talking about 383 junk that breaks down but from the looks of this I'd take it any day
+Daniel Vasquez as long as you get a 383 balanced correctly you're not going to have any problems with stuff breaking or making over 500.
