still haven't decided anything yet, talked to my machinist today and he's supposed to give me a quote in the next couple of days on the 383.

the 5.3 is out, its either gonna be a 6.0 or 383, if I get the quote on the 383 by the end of the week I'll decide something then.

IDK, one reason I like the 383 is because it makes good power stock, but there is so much more you can do to it, the 383 makes good power, but because the limitations of the .060 over block, I'd be more limited on how much horsepower I could make before I break it

THANKS FOR ALL THE REPLIES, keep them coming
