Turbo 383 in a A-body Barracuda

Well ****!! Shop called back this morning to confirm the 383 has a 5 inch crack on the outside of the block.. WHHHHYYYYYY ME!!

I guess I need to determine if I should look for another 383 or just change the pistons in the 440!!???

Its much easier to find pistons for the 440 rather than deal with the 383 having to be Custom ground...

Any idea's???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You should be able to find a 383 Block pretty easy for cheap or free. Nobody seems to use them! Stick to your plan or it is going to cost you alot more money since you already have the parts on order!!! Don't ask me how I know this.:-D
