Did the 383 come stock in any Chevy?

NO, the 383 is called a stroker engine. It is a 350 with a 400 crankshaft that is machined, to make it work in a 350 block. There are other factors and modifications to be made when building a stroker. The only 383 that came from the factory is in Chrysler vehicles.


Which is better a 350 engine or a 383 engine?

I would depend on if you are asking a Chevy man or a Mopar man. Personally I like the Chevy 350. If you are referring to a Chevy 383 made from a 350 block with a 400 crank, it would always make more torque than a 350. So if torque is what you're after, "there's no replacement for displacement".


What does it take to make a poor mans 383 already have a stock 94' caprice classic with the 350 and under 170xxxKM any help is greatly appreciated?

You need a crank from a 400 turned down to fit 350 main bearings and a set of 400 rods on the 350 pistons. Also need a flywheel and balancer from a 400. If the engine is standard bore, it would be a 377. A 383 is bored .030" oversize.

When was the 383 4 bolt main engine made?

Chevrolet never built a 383 for production use. Many aftermarket suppliers have produced a 383 Chevy. It was originally built by taking a 400 crankshaft and having the main journals reground to fit a 350 block. The combination of the 400 crank and rods with the 350 block and pistons yields a reciprocating assembly with correct compression height. In standard bore, this would make 377 cubic inches. The 383 would be a .030" overbore. Since most of those parts have been used up, the aftermarket now produces all new parts to build a 383. It could be noted that Chrysler produced a 383 for many years during the 60's and 70's. It has nothing in common with the Chevrolet.
