Well it up and running the new replacement 383.
But I having issues with it what new.
First I getting Code 42.
I have to find whats giving me this code.
The stange thing about it when I jumped ADLC port A and Port B Normaly if I remember right the Fans kick on they are not kicking on anymore.
The car gets up to 220 temp the front Rad fan kicks on but not the main read Rad fan I put a new fan motor in for the rear have not check it out yet and see if this fixed the rear main fan yet.
The ar runs OK I think when I get my new chip for it this will clean things up a lot I using the old chip from my 355 build for now I should see my new chip here soon.
I also thought the LT4 Hot cam would sounded more mean than it is it just could be the 383 Stroker displacment that makes sound more mellow.
 
I would think being a stroker would make it sound even meaner but I've never built a stroker.

Code 42 was a smashed wire fixed wire no code 42 YA.
Everythings work but now the AC screwed it that great GM feeling LOL.
It's now poping the Gauge fuse.
The A/C worked took it for a test drive then NO A/C.
The A/C control panel is dead.
 
I have driven the car now 73 miles I like much better than my old 355 set up I cant wait to get my new chip.
