GM 383 Partial Engine

For those who want to build their own custom stroker Chevy small-block crate engine, this partial engine comes with the specially modified block, 3.80" forged steel stroker crankshaft, heavy-duty connecting rods, hypereutectic pistons, bearings, oil pan, oil pump, front cover, balancer, and 12.75" flexplate. This partial engine does not include a camshaft, lifters, timing chain, or cam sprocket. The oil pan is assembled loosely on the block so it can be disassembled without destroying the pan gasket.
