 |
|
Hi
Someone on the BOC forum is looking for an engine
| Quote: | Happy New Year.
Does anyone have a reasonably priced good second hand 383cu in Mopar engine
for sale???
I have a holed piston and little energy at the moment, so I am looking for a
quick way to get back on the road.
Alternatively does anyone know of the best way to source a new 383 engine
from the USA |
Any ideas? |

Rick:
Just talking Mopar products, the 383 (also known as aB-series engine ) was fitted to a lot of Mopar models between 1961 and 1971(?). For the 1972 year, it became a 400...and prior to 1961 it was a smaller than 383...
This engine also found its way into a lot of other cars, not only Bristols.... |

I am in Uk and I believe the enquirer is as well.
I will pass on your message but he would probably want a 383 for the Bristol.
They used 383s in the 411 s1,2,& 3. but they did use the 400s in the 411 s4 & 5 |

Hi
He hasn't got back to me I posted, on the Bristol site, the link to this thread and also PMd him with your message.
Can only leave it up to him.
He has had a fair few answers from Bristol owners as well. |
