they said it would be easier, more common parts, and better HP to go with a 383.

Well, obviously- its almost never cheaper to go the more unique route. Just depends how bad you want your car to be different.

Well when the time comes I guess its all up to me and I will have to just post the pics when I get the motor I choose put in. Again thanks for all the info and still feel free to post any other thoughts I will check back for more.

i have the 3.1 L V6 that i am trying to sell (just the motor and tranny). it is from an 81 monte carlo LS. if you want that along with parts from 1983-88 monte carlo ss. i have 3 SS parts cars, the LS i am converting to an 86 SS. let me know.
