Re: 383 rebuild and parts question ( was Re: Two 1962 Plymouths)

[<62-65-mail-list-club@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As noted by a builder "There are several type of engine rebuilds. You can rebuild an engine to strictly stock OEM specs 
and NOS or equivalent aftermarket parts. Or, you can performance a stock rebuild and use upgraded components so the 
engine package performs at its best. Select your parts carefully...." (no date on article so old prices) 

https://www.cartechbooks.com/blogs/techtips/rebuildbigblockmoparbasics/   

There was also a book written by a former member of this group called "Old Reliable The Practical 440 Race Motor" but I 
don't know if it is still available. As of 2019 this was the status:
https://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/oldreliable.html

Maybe someone on this mail list knows more about this book and contacting Don Dulmage.

There also are these old books. Some stuff has changed in the decades since they were written. You can look them up 

Big-Block Mopar Engines (How to Rebuild) by Don Taylor
 
How to Build Max-Performance Mopar Big-Blocks by Andy Finkbeiner
 
How to Rebuild the Big-Block Mopar by Arvid Svendsen

Big Block Mopar Performance by Chuck Senatore

There are some "rebuild" series on You Tube, for example:
Joe's Garage 383 Engine Rebuild Part 1

Lastly, here is a time lapse video on rebuilding a 383 in less than 5 minutes!  :)
