gretchen/jason Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 So my story starts as this . Bought a crate 350 from Jegs 7,000 miles latter with a weiand supercharger running 4 lbs of boost the oil pump pickup tube fell off bummer . So i yanked the engine sent it to a " Recomended person at a machine shop " To build me a 383 . Gapless piston rings forged pistons etc etc . I got the engine back 800$ Latter . I sent it to another machine shop because i didnt have time to build it . Found out i was handed a hack job so it was redone for !!!!!!!!!! 1,900$ as nothing was balanced and i had two bad rods . Well to the pont . I drove my z supercharged 383 to work monday the 25th . i didnt even create any boost think man this thing is bad ass alot of power . Got to work " i work at hyundai " just tofind i had cylinder 1 and 3 crossed they werent even firing . Man i redid the pllug wires man with no boost at all under 2,500 rpms with 295/50/15 tires it gets squirley man im in love all over again . Just a update of all my horriable experienceses if i spelled it rite and the final outcome man i love my z . Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnjdragracing Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Damnit man, Sorry to here about the bad news. Glad to see it is all worked out. I tell people / machine shops are getting bad now a days. Our machinist has a few lasp some times as well. You really have to check behind them. Good luck with your 383 and happy motoring.
