76 620 with 383 :D

[gus280z]

In my search for a 383 I found my self looking 76 620 that had been swapped with a 383 and a 700r4 the guy was selling it for a decent price and now its in my drive way. Unfortunately i have no desire to keep the truck even though im starting to like it more and more when i see what the finished projects look like. The problem is that right now i have 2 other projects, my 280z and my r75/6.......

So my question is: what is this stuff worth? i figure you guys would know better than anyone else.

The truck has a hydraulic operated dump bed, trans am rear end with disc brakes, restored  (sand blasted and powder coated) frame, dash in perfect condition, and 1 door :D....

Worth what ever you paid to get your money back. Sad really. Unlikely anyone will want to take on a half finished project. It's value is in it's parts. Maybe a chebby owner that wants the drive train? The body will just be thrown away.

If your dash is original it is probably worth 383 it is hard to find a nice dash like that

Awesome

 

 

 

The dump bed mechanism is worth something too.

I think it the chevy stroker version.

Back in the 80s we used to take Chevy 350 and put in a 400 crank to make 383 cubic inch 350 stroker motor. Until we learned that the 400 engine was faster. Now GM builds a small block up to 427 cubic inches even though guys say the rod-stroke ratio is bad it is still faster.

There are a couple reason a 400 is better than a 350 , the 400 block has extra ports for steam cast in them allowing the 400 to run way cooler and make more power.

 

To bad it won't see the road again , to bad its not in pnw , we would make it happen . It would make a sweet ratrod " ratsun"

I know very little about the 400 being better than the 350...i just pick this up bc it had a whole bunch of goodies already in it. i pulled the vc and found comp cam roller rockers in it along with a comp cam camshaft ...also pulled the head forged flat top pistons that are .30 over. yeah its a 350 but the numbers match the nova that it came our of and its got the 400 crank with the matching balancer...im happy with it i cant wait to have it running in something.
