Default 383 Stroker

I am wanting to build a 383 stroker. I have some building experience but only some. Enough to build an engine.
I am building this engine for dirt track racing.
I have a 2 piece RMS. 2 bolt Main. I am looking for torque and want the power band around 4000 to 5000 rpm. I will be running late model tires ( 12 to 13 inches wide).
What 383 kit would be recommended ( scat- eagle- etc. )
i have a set of 882 heads and a set of vortex heads with z28 springs. I have aluminum intakes or steel.
Holley 4412 carb 500 cfm
i have no idea what cam to run or what lift will fit. Just looking for some advise.

Crane cams are the best IMO.

How hard would it be to put a 383 stroker in a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado with the 5.3 in it?

Default My 383 won't stay running

My 383 I can't get to idle it will start up with starting food but as soon as the starting food Burns off it dies I'm getting fuel i can see it pumping in there when i have a key on and i pump the gas but it still won't start or stay idling only with the starting fluid.
Any suggestions?
