Hey there guys! Man, first of all I love reading and learning about all the things that everyone has posted on here about making pieces and parts from other cars work for the budget builders like myself! Although I am not there yet, but will be putting the 78 MC back together this spring and starting the engine build and hopefully getting her fired up in late 2020! I have read thread after thread and found some great information! I wanted to get some opinions and thoughts on which vendor to go to for the 383 stroker kit, cam, valve train, and cylinder heads. Originally I was going to purchase everything from Skip White Performance. I like their detailed explanations of parts, quality, and all the information they provide along with their facility. Upon reading through some threads, I decided to check out Competition Performance and do some price comparison and research on their quality. Not to be disappointed by what they offer at all. I like the fact that I can get all the valve train components from Howards, where as SWP I cannot. Not that big of deal? Competition Cams is a quality vendor as well, but I like one vendor for a system as important as this. am I being too anal about it guys? LOL, maybe. Also cost, year end bonus checks next month, comparing the 2 vendors, SWP comes in a little under $400.00 cheaper for parts. Anyone have good or bad experiences with either of these places? I haven't seen any complaints about either from any thread I have read through. So I am just trying to buy quality that will give me what I am trying to build. A nice little small block, around 400 HP and some decent torque. A cruiser, maybe a car show once in awhile, burn off some rubber here and there and prob get a ticket or too from the local cop! Not a 1/4 mile balls to the wall pissed off nitrous fed supercharged beast. Maybe next time if I can find a nice Gen 1 MC to build! I appreciate all of your opinions and feed back as always guys! If you have any questions that would help your input just let me know!
