Breakin is a joke. My instructor taught us to drive it how it will be driven every day. I have over 10,000 on this engine with no problems at all. I was not wicked hard on it but i was not easy on it either. I don't know what to believe, there is so many opinions about break in. I just drive it. lol and it works!
I do know that its not good to use full synthetic for the first 2,000 miles because its so slipery that it will never "break in".

Looks awesome man. I'm glad when you had the engine and the rest of those car parts out of your kitchen weren't you? At least I'm sure your wife was happy :P I'm thinking about dropping in an LT1 in my 85 Caprice wagon. I want to stay carb'd though. How cheap was everything?

Was it a 383 kit, or did you buy the parts separately? I am seriously thinking about doing just the 383 stroker but I am having a difficult time finding one as a kit.

I went to Lakeshore Technical College in Wisconsin and I am ASE Certified. BUT, I didn't learn everything I needed to know for this project. We did rebuild one engine in school but it was by the books, using all stock parts = easy. The difficult part is was deciding on compression, understanding static and dynamic compression, factoring in head gasket thickness, head CC, piston dome volume, ect.. Just did my research online and it all come together :-)

how much for just the engine parts?

@dopephat
forgot to add throttle body, valve covers, SLP intake, headers, exhaust, roller rockers, pushrods, lifters.. I would estimate about $4500 into the engine alone

The most expensive was the heads, cam, and intake manifold porting from Loyd Elliot. That was $2500, The crank, rods, bearings, and pistons were about $800. Other engine parts like gaskets and freeze plugs, spark plugs, wires, exc. were about $150. Block prep (cleaning, bore, hone) was $400.
