383 Stroker Rotating Assembly #ETCGDadsTruck

1. They are supposed to run a tap through all of the bolt holes! Also something they don't always do!

2. Good video on how NOT to rebuild your engine.

3. Slow process to build a personal engine! Every detail that makes you sleep at night is accepted in the hobby! Hobby is what i call it as that is what it is for us perfectionists! In the end of every build its your dollar so spend it as you see fit! I enjoy final assembly of any project and am critisized by everyone around that i am way too anal about the small details! In the end most of my builds from 1000 Hp to 50 Hp pitbikes hold up and last through the punishment of those that critisized me! I get the most thrill knowing that the small details are what make build hold up !!!!!

4. I hated those crank down ring compressors…Lisle MAKES THE BEST…SET IT 1 TIME DO WHOLE ENGINE…BINGO…

5. .002 Is perfect!!! I used to go .015…on any rebuild…clearance is foremost…if it gets hot…no worries…My 1st VW Type 1 engine…Counterweight crank( hours clearances Block)…yup… only had .001 on crank…didnt break it in…raced a 914…beat him w a 2bbl Zenith…BUT DOD NOT STOP AND COOL DOWN…SPUN A ROD…🤯🥶💩

6. Clevite/Michigan 77's are my choice…Long time since a build like this…but Clevite 77 was always my choice in any engine…GREAT CALL!!!

7. Eric…I COMMEND YOU IN CHOICE OF CID…383 SBC IS ONE OF MY FAV ENGINES…A friend contacted me after buying an 81 Firebird …WHAT SHOULD I PUT IN THIS??? A BLUEPRINT 383…POWER DURABILITY AND FUN!!! His Dad taught me GLASS…AUTO/ GLAZING…He had 3 Sons(Not the TV Series but coulda passed for it) Dan was the oldest…We became friends…all three actually…but Dan chose the right girl and I was honored as best man…well 2 Brothers…he didn't want arguments…lol)

8. Black paint is BEST…DISSAPATES HEAT BEST!!!

9. Cam specs are very close to the Crane roller cam I picked up for my 306 build for my truck.

   216*/224* @ 0.050, 112* LSA, 107* ICL, 0.520"/0.542" lift.

   Picked it out for its high lift for the AFR Renegade 165 heads I bought and because it was more fitting for a daily street truck with a C6 transmission with a goal of 3.00:1 to 3.25:1 ring and pinion swap to offset my 31×10.50-15 KO2 tires.

10. The cam tool world alott better if you grab it from the very back allowing you to balance it alott better

11. Don't put your ring gaps inline with the wrist pin boss!!!!!, and 0.002" seems really tight for a sbc

12. exelente Trabajo Eric, me gusto mucho el video Gracias
    excellent work Eric, I like this video Thank you

13. you should burn that monster transmission poster you have in your garage. that company is a bunch of manipulative a holes.

14. Could’ve made some fine music with all those torque beeps.

15. Bought a cam installing tool to not ding the cam bearings and what's the first thing he does

16. Great view, Great tips thanks !! What carb did you use?

17. When inserting the pistons & rods, it's better to push all in one move instead of hammering it. Turn the crank to the lowest position as far away from the cylinder bottom and put one hand at the bottom of the cylinder to grab the rod— you push all in one motion instead of hammering it. you only need to push about 2 inches to get all the rings compressed & into the cylinder. Hammering can get an oil ring rail stuck or broke between the ring compressor & the top of the block.

18. You squeeze the ring with your left hand and crank with your right hand; you grind both end gap faces at the same time, this way if the grinder wheel is true, the end gaps stay parallel. As for checking end gap, square up the ring in the block and put the best fitting feeler gauge in and pull the gauge and if the gauge has drag and comes out without disturbing the ring ends that's the size; if the ends get tugged away it's the size less.

19. Eagle specialtys sells a real nice balanced rotating assembly with dampner and flex plate .

20. I've a question….How would I tell if my rebuild was truly 30 over bored? I know it was rebuilt. But the guy I bought the truck from seemed shady. However over the 7 years I've had the truck its been great and turns out so far everything has been true. The only reason I cannot believe the 30 over to 383 is, I've been told there was no way my 350 was because of some strange reason I cannot remember I think it was something about the 380 instead of 383 or some shit. Made no sense really. I honestly am clueless to most jargon however I am pretty good with basics. The truck trans was rebuilt and had some gearing done for pulling. Also the motor is still good no smoke and its 92 ….no oil leaks. There's never been a Chevy engine I've seen all stock that damned old that wasn't rebuilt. Hahahah. Anyway. I checked the harmonic balancer and it looks normal so that is why I still question it. The engine is in the 92 long bed ext cab c1500 Silverado. I am thinking about redoing the entire thing. I want to break about 400 hp….that would give the truck plenty of fun power without it being too damn dangerous being the bed is long. Hahaha.

21. Black is in baby lol

22. Your camera person is doing a great job. Sound is great too.
    Thanks for not adding music or having annoying background noise.
    Great video!

23. Eric… did you install you cam thrust plate?

24. 32:52 – "The bigger it is, the smaller the clearance. The smaller it is, the LESS(?) the clearance."
    ….Eric talks a lot and makes the occasional faux pas. In case it wasn't clear, crushing the little pasta stick makes it thinner and wider. It the gap is larger, it doesn't crush as much and results in a thicker and less-wide 'splat'.
    Awesome video, Eric. I agree with those who call this an hour of CAR PORN!

25. how thick is a zip tie didn't he say can you use something you have to measure the zip tie don't you just use a super teeny tiny one

26. If there's a little bit of dirt in the engine after cleaning you know maybe you should check them little holes just a little bit more but that didn't seem like a whole lot of dust don't worry about you should clean out those threaded holes double-check anyway don't you think they wouldn't do that at the factory though take too much time they got to make sure they get quick ways of doing all that stuff you just have to double-check if you seen it once then you'd have to do it for every engine which is not really a problem you can stick a water hose in there real quick or something once it's on the engine wash

27. You're very slow you got to do 8 Pistons 8 cylinders so you might as well do them all at once or one side at it wants at least do the whole crank at once you're very slow

28. you can use a long piece of rubber hose on the end of the Pistons

29. paint Orange

30. i use wd 40 cause my machinist uses it. the same machinist that says its common for your engine to be full of crud when you get it back.

31. I love the sounds of putting the engine together. The metal hitting metal on all the fasteners and when he’s hammering the pistons in. The further down they go the higher the pitch gets. I’m very sensitive to sounds and get anxious and annoyed easily but these sounds are very relaxing.

32. Work of art!

33. WD40 is NOT a lube, especially for piston install. Man I hate knocking on a small business but dude….

34. Not a real 383 chevy never made a 383 only mopar made a true 383 block

35. wd40 is basically 3/4 mineral spirits and some oil,
