Engine Build Book

[GoMangoBoys]

We just brought home our 70 Go Mango R/T.  It has a 67 383 HP with a factory bore as I am told by the seller.  We will pull the engine this weekend and try to figure out for sure what we just bought.  We are new to Mopars.  I have built a couple of Chevy Small Blocks and a high-performance VW engine.   I am looking for a good manual on building the 383.  Is this one any good.  I live close to Summit and it is easy to stop by and pick it up.

It would be a good start !
We can add a lot of help if needed also .
You could think about stroking it up to 436 CI using 440 crank & rods , the stroker kits do not cost much more than just fixing what you have .
The Mopar blocks are far bigger than Ford or Chev blocks , & are a lot more sturdy & have a lot taller deck height compared to stroke length so rod ratio is far better which reduced piston side loading etc . The pistons are also excessively tall allow a lot of room the stroke & still have great rod ratios .
The lifter diameter is also much larger allow more agressive cam profiles so more lift at the same duration .
Let us know how we can help

You'll find that a lot of things are much easier on a big block Mopar than a Chevy engine, valve train for instance. I have my doubts the 383 is original bore but you never know. Good luck with it.

I picked up this book at Summit today.
Thanks for the input.

The 'SA' brand books are also good.

If you're doing a performance build these two are very good. One thing you'll find about Mopars is that you don't need a lot of aftermarket parts, as the factory pieces are plenty strong.

The books mentioned here are all good, but first, and foremost, you need '70 challenger service manual. You can get it here for free:

A good tip I could provide to you guys is try to locate the books used.  I've had great luck finding these books on thriftbooks.com. They aren't always available, but you can create an account, add a book to your wishlist and it will notify you by email immediately when it is available.  I bought the Don Taylor book you mentioned on there for about 12 or 14 bucks.  Cartech Publishing is a great place to pick them up new.
