BRAND NEW 383 STROKER Engine !!!!
May 2010

The 350 had some odd knocking noises coming out of it:
Took it to a garage in town and was told that I broke a piston rod/bearing. One of the cylinders was misfiring. Engine pretty much sounded like shit !!!

So I decided to spend more $$$$ on the one thing thought was ok with this car. The motor. Oh well. You only live once...
   
   
Atleast I will not have a little 350 anymore.
I decided to install a 383, 400+HP Stroker Engine!!

Finally giving the old beast the power it deserves !

Here's a little something about the new engine I am getting put in, Along with a few Pictures..
