Ok went to the machine shop today, talked to a really awesome guy who was very understanding of my situation (college, tight on money, looking to do it right but not spending money on anything I don't need).
He quoted me $1761 for the complete assembled 383, shortblock, internally balanced, .030 over, 10:1 compression with 64cc heads, cleaned, washed, etc., new cam bearings, cam installed, timing chain/cover installed, new oil pump (cheap and just for reassurance), basically everything inside the block replaced/checked.
The price of $1761 includes the Iron Eagle stroker kit, which is $850 including shipping to the shop, $700 for the actual machine work assembly etc. than the additional 261 covers tax, and the small parts such as the oil pump and cam bearings.
I need to buy the cam seperate and give it to him with my engine when it goes in, which leads me to picking out which cam for this combo:
383 shortblock
10:1 compression
Trickflow 64cc heads, 195cc intake ports
Performer RPM Intake
Speed Demon 650 VC carb
1 5/8 Hooker Headers
HEI Distributor
Bolted to a m20.
I'd like to come out of this with at least 425hp, and really like the Voodoo cams but they are a bit expensive compared to the competition. The rear was gonna be next but obviously spinning a bearing throws quite a kink in the situation, eventually 3.55's will go out back. Paying for all of it is still going to be a miracle, I already picked up extra hours at work to help..
