383 Stoker

[Dempsey561]

I'm going to be doing a 383 in my 96 4 door tahoe. I need to know everything and anything I would need to buy to be doing this. Haha no joke either. Don't get mad at me for asking this. ;p I'm only 17. Still a noobie.

Jump on Jegs or summit and look for a rotating assembly to start. Thats your primary guts.

all you need drop-in compatible with existing system:

The HT383E is a dropin, does require a tune for full potential though. I more extreme 383 or a custom unit may require a fuel system upgrade. Plan on a tranny upgrade also to handle the new found power

A tweaked and rebuilt 4L80E with tighter bands and a shift kit should be plenty.

yes it will. I haven't killed my 60....yet.

383 stroker

I am also building a 383 stroker for my '97 Tahoe. The block is going to the machine shop today. Has anybody ever done this before? I'm having some last minute concerns. I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible. Do I need a different injector or t-body? Different mapping in the PCM or different PCM? Different heads? Roller rockers while I'm in there? Etc. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

My HT383E I was able to keep everything stock except the tuning, we had to pretty much max out the fuel system so be aware that you might need to upgrade all that.
