Show original supplier description
This new 383" engine is constructed using 100% brand-new parts, including the block, and is engineered with performance and hot-rodding in mind. Key components include a Smeding Heavy Duty 4-Bolt Mains block with a 9.025" deck height and 4.000" bore, a Smeding 4340 Forged Steel crankshaft with a 3.800" stroke, and Smeding 5140 Forged Steel I-Beam connecting rods. It is fitted with UEM Custom Hypereutectic Aluminum pistons providing a 9.8:1 compression ratio and Smeding 1.5 ratio full-roller rocker arms. The cylinder heads are Smeding Aluminum with 180cc intake ports, 2.02"/1.60" valves, and 65cc chambers. Available in multiple configurations, including 380hp, 420hp, 450hp, and 480hp options, each with specific cam specs, lift, duration, and LSA. The recommended torque converter stall speed varies depending on the chosen horsepower rating. A 3-year, unlimited-mile warranty is included. It is important to note that the final assembly and tuning of this partial engine must be completed by an experienced engine assembler/builder. Smeding Performance is not responsible for damage caused by user-installed parts.

Shipping

Orders are processed in 1–3 business days. In stock parts ship promptly from our partner network. Special-order items either aren’t currently stocked or are built to your spec — expect 4–6 weeks. If a part goes on backorder while your order is in the queue, we’ll reach out and work through discounted alternatives together.

Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands), and international orders carry surcharges — most appear at checkout.
