Cool project, sounds great!

I know you can buy a specific 383 crank which is pretty close to a wash $ wise once you consider buying a 400 crank, gamble on it being useable and paying for machine work and extensive balancing. You will need a stroker clearanced oil pan, which some stock ones actually fit, and clearance the surface of the block where the oil pan attaches so the rods dont hit the block i think. I always wanted to build one but never have so this is just what I read in magazines.
