That would be a destroked motor, and would result in a 285.
If you wanted to put a 3.75" stroker crankshaft with a with a 0.05" offset grind into a Ford engine with a 4" bore (such as a Windsor 351) you could make a 383ci Ford stroker. But as for making the traditional Chevy stroker engine, you can't turn a Ford engine into a Chevy engine.
on the left lower side of the engine block
Bolt a 400 crank into a 350 block. Doing so DOES require machining to both the block AND crankshaft. In addition to this, you will also need the rods, balancer, and flexplate from the 400. it wants more cam than you'd think.
Buy a new crankshaft.
behind the crankshaft pully at the bottom of the motor and on the back of the block
Nothing that I know of, from the factory, anyway. Sounds like it might be a stroker motor. 383, maybe. You would need to know the bore, and stroke configuration, to figure the cubic inches.
It depends on which heads whomever built the stroker motor decided to use.
If you get under your car, look between the transmission oil pan and the motor. It is in the rear of the block of your motor. If you have the tools it won't be difficult just dont do it when the motor is hot.
Yes it will a 383 is still a small block chevy. The only thing that makes it different then a 350 is the rotating system,( THE PARTS INSIDE ) It will bolt right in there. NEUTZ he is correct. the only difference is the crank. it is from a 396.
Yes, kits are available allowing you to "stroke" a 350 engine. Doing so increases the piston stroke by increasing the crankshaft "throw".
how do i find the timing on my 383 400 hp stroker motor
Yes.
