I know how to install and break in a cam. Just worried about the many manufacturer lifter issues.

I would like to replace my 484 purple cam in my 383 this fall. With all the lifter issues out there the last few years I don’t know if it’s a good idea. Has anyone had any luck with a new cam and set of lifters lately? Maybe I should look for a NOS set from the 90’s….lol

I had a Dodge Aspen when I was young. I dropped in a 383. Instead of getting a rear sump pan. I cut the section of crossmember out and boxed it in with steel. If they cut your cross member out more then a few inches past the lip I would replace it.If they only cut a few inches I would box it...

That cam is pretty small for a 512.

Has anyone use the Mancini Racing rear reartainer plate and rear seal on a 383-440? The instructions say to fold the side seals around the retainer and install. So the I guess the folded end of the seal gets squeezed between the retainer and the block? Does this sound right? And the side seals...

I don't think I have ever used the parts in the picture. So these parts are not suppose to be installed? Fel Pro instructions are poor. I am replacing it while the engine is in the car.So much easier with the engine out ...lol

Do you guys use rtv in the groves of the retainer plate on the side seals?

I don't ever remember using these parts with a 383 rear seal kit. What are these used for?

Yes

No you will be good for pump gas..

Ok have you guys ever had a 383? Or had a mild or built 383? More torque and less money to get to 400-500 hp. I thought he was on a budget of 4-5k. You dont not need a stroker kit or aluminum heads to get 400-475 hp out of a 383. 400-475 hp out of a 360 will take way more money. A little heavier...

I So just a stroker kit and aluminum heads you be in at 4k right ? If I did a small block I would start with a Magnum motor.Magnums already have closed chamber big valves heads . I have read you can do a little to them and like a 383 easy to make hp.

I like the feel of a big block. Doesnt take much to get 450-500 out of a 383...Can you even build a stroker small block for 4-5 k with headers?

I would just call Brewers they will fix you up.

The code is 911...

Yes a C body pan will work.I used a 67 Fury pan.It must be a center sump pan and I think all C body pans are..I would not use a high volume pump with a stock pan but maybe a high pressure pump.The radiator will not work unless you cut the lower radiator sump.

No but they look cooler when they do....

If you run a tunnel ram it has to be through the hood...LOL

Look in front of the intake on top of the motor there should be a flat spot about the size of a Zippo lighter.On that flat pad is usally stamped 413,426,or 440.Oh and you may have to clean off some paint,grease,etc to see the numbers.

I would not run "unknown valve springs" Buy the springs to match the cam.I also would run a high pressure oil pump and Milodon center sump 7 1/2 oil pan.

Looks like a motor out of a Mad Max car.What are are you stuffing that into? We need pics...

Milodon center sump 7 qt pan.I got mine from Summit racing.

Sure... can you cut and weld ?

smart idea..Do you have a source for the starter wire quick disconnects? Summit maybe? I will be installing the engine from the bottom so the install will not be too bad.It's just down the road starter replacement will be a royal pain...

I am guessing you have to pull the header loose,pull out the torsion bar maybe,and then pull the tranny.

I use 7 1/2 in mine.The Milodon pans are 7 qt pans.

I am tossing around dropping my 383 into my Duster this winter.What is the best or should I say the easiest way to replace a mini starter in an A body with long tube headers.Oh and I will be running a 727. Also I have a Mopar Performance mini starter, how long do they usally last...

Sitting outside uncovered I would not want it....

906,915,or 452's would work.
