Nicks Garage 383 build

You don’t “think” you need a dyno and you may not, but if you’re hunting for perfect it’s a huge shortcut. A full day here (6 hours and +-20 pulls plus breakin) at a world class shop cost me $1200 and it’s been well worth it every time Ive done it.

So...? The new valves caused no valve clearance? I find that weird. The pistons don't seem to be anywhere near zero deck and the cam doesn't seem to be anywhere near .500" . Not there to measure it so....Must be.

This is a great opportunity and I'm glad Nick is taking this approach with even making another video....Now we really see the dilemma an engine builder can go through. If we do this it costs X but makes power do this, If we do this it takes more time and $$$ and it does this, and so on and so forth. I see Nick asked for feedback no less than three times in the video, so lets hear it. How would you "FIX" this 383? And NO I'm not involved, I 've already said I don't do stock 383's, but then again this one is not turning out to be very stock is it? J.Rob
