i thought this thread was dead,, what do you have for parts so far ???

Sorry I guess I am late on this post didn't notice the post date,I was just happy to see someone also building a 383 small block chevy.
It's damn near a mirror project as the one above. I am wondering which hormonic ballancer to use the 350 or the 400 as they are totaly diffrent in the way they work. I have a book "BIG INCH chevy small blocks" but it is kind of gray on that section. I'm sure the machine shop will know unless some one out there knows.
I would like to compare notes with any one that has built or has knowledge about this motor. I have heard nothing but good things about this motor(383) I haven heard anything bad yet..........
