Finally putting together the 383 for my 1966 Charger.  Some fresh paint, new parts, and the heads were redone. Here are some before and afters.

Nice work...what a difference !  So is this basicly a stock rebuild ? Welcome to the site, btw.

Yeah basically stock, swaped out the 2 barrel manifold for a 4 and got an Edelbrock 600 carb on the way, went with the electronic distributor.  The guy I bought this engine from had it sitting on a barn floor in manure for about 10 years, the oil pan was ate up and as you can see it was quite a mess.  If all goes well she'll be purring again soon.  The 66 charger that it's going in was a "pasture" find at a garage sell in the country.  Pretty decent shape considering how long it had sit too.  Hope to get some pics up of it as well.  Thanks for the welcome!

Here is a pic of the car...
