I got it on a stand. I'm about to take it apart. How did you sell those parts? Individually or as a package? What did you sell them for?

Yea stroker is a good idea. I think I'll do that if that crank isn't something I want to use. Especially if I have it rebuilt. I'd sell the 383 and other parts to pay for some of it

I'm changing it to normal rotation. The crank flange is the same as my car engine. I'm going to just change the cam, distributor, timing to chain and oil pump. That should be good unless I have to polish off those oil knurls on the crank. All the other parts on the car should work and I have a...

I got the engine for pretty cheap. The guy said it was right rotation. Its a fresh water engine. The heads are 906. I'm going to tear it apart for inspection. Maybe just replace the crank bearings and head gaskets. Not sure why they have rtv all around the heads. Apparently one was rebuilt. I...

I have a 71 monaco with a 383/727. I can get a 68 chrysler marine 440 for a decent price. They rotate opposite direction apparently but was told you just need to replace the cam and distributor to make it normal. Never used one before. Does anyone have any experience or input on using this...

I got all six in I just had to chase the hole with a tap it turned out.

The car doesn't eat transmissions but had a bit of a vibration. We'll see how it does with the new flex plate and tc. Thanks for all input

I got it all together. Turned out that hole wasn't lined up right. The strange part was the mating surface on the engine has that dip next to that bolt hole. We will see how it works.

Engine machine zone to bellhousing has this wedge mistake. I have never seen this.

Took the teans back off.. no broken bolt. Chased the thread with tap. But found an uneven mating surface on the block which is a reman 71 block based off a 66 383. I'll probably just put in the 440 after this fun revelation.

Yea that's what I figured. Better take care of it while the trans is out. Cross my fingers and hope it extracts without too much drilling and heli coil work. I know better but was hoping someone would say otherwise. Six bolts is already not many.

the break is on the engine side thread to clarify

I pulled the trans off my 71 monaco to install a 2500 rpm stall converter on a 727 tranny. Found one one of the six mount bolts missing. Upon further diag. The diver side middle bolt was missing and busted off. I intend on replacing this engine from 383 to 440 eventually. should I bother...

Looks like the voltage regulator had a bad ground. Ran a redundant ground from the v reg to the engine and it works. Thanks to all for the info

Thank you all very much. I will test it tomorrow and post what I find.

I will have to verify ground at the regulator at this point.

I have battery voltage there at the power output cable on the alternator. The guy at summit racing said I will have no issues with the higher output alternator. It did the same thing with the old 60 amp anyway and did not charge. The car has a bigger than stock alternator wire going to a...

my battery on my 71 monaco is not charging. Changed the alternator with tuff stuff 130 amp and tuff stuff voltage regulator. Still not charging. Checked continuity of the two field wires to the alternator to voltage regulator wires are good. Swapped batteries and ko positive result. Grounds are...

This is originally a 383 2bbl and is a cast crank. I've been through it. I replaced the harmonic balancer with a new performance balancer that's weighted. I'll probably just look for the weighted flywheel cause I'm looking for a 440 for the car to put in later

I pretty sure it does last time I was in there. I'll have to look into a balanced flex plate I guess
