logan1 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'm thinking about dropping a 383 into my 240z and wanted to know if this engine / parts used are worth the asking price. http://tulsa.craigslist.org/pts/2689761630.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Not a bad price if the machine work and assembly was done properly. If i bought it I'd have to tear it down and check it, but I'm just that way. If something was done poorly and you have to correct it, you might wind up with as much in it as if you did the build yourself. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsicard Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The Craigslist ad list the pistons "Pistons new 12.5-1 keith black hyper popups". These are domed pistons for higher compression ratio. It is better to deck the block and use pistons with a dish and still have a good quench/squish pad to maximize squish in conjunction with appropriate cylinder heads. Better to start off with a similar block, proper machining, crankshaft, pistons with a definite plan to achieve specific results with specific cylinder heads installed.
