Gotta see if I still have your number. In any case, I'm interested in it. Even if this engine doesn't pan out. That cast iron lower is pretty hefty, but they say they run pretty good. I considered the stealth ram, but they want $475 for just the lower, and Holley doesn't want to sell the upper by itself, then the throttle body, fuel rails, and such just seems like a hassle. I found somebody with some like new take offs(were only used in freshwater by indmar as test mules) for $700 shipped, but they're the 4 bolt throttle body style. Some have ran them as you can get a 90MM throttle body for them cheap, but then you have to make a custom throttle shaft to hook up the cables. I've been wanting to try building a 383 vortec for awhile, pretty well decided I want to do it now.
