Thx you very much. I installed this engine on my 1968 charger. The engine was not fired up for who knows how long (well over few years) did a normal compression check no oil in and readings where between 115-130 thru all thx. The engine is smoking at start up. But Ive been told by Cuda Ken and others that its the valves seals.

I am guessing thats normal? I will do another compression check again. I will Post it here.

 Yep, told you it was a good 383 in the PM I sent. Neil loves worked 516 heads I will add. There is still life in that there 383.
