Truck
Power to Tow & Go!

Specially tuned for torque, the all
new HT 383 delivers great truck power in a small-block package. With its
3.80" stroke and Vortec cylinder heads the HT 383 makes awesome torque,
down low where you need it for towing or four wheeling off road. Peak torque is
415 Ft/Lbs at 3500 RPM, but the HT 383 makes over 400 Ft/Lbs between 2500 and
4000 RPM ! Developed as a truck engine, with a truck grind roller cam, heavy
duty forged powdered metal connecting rods, forged crankshaft and hypereutectic
pistons the HT 383 is designed to be worked. 325 horsepower at 4500 RPM doesn't
hurt either.
The HT 383 should only be used in 1973 and earlier pre-emissions street vehicles
or any year off road vehicles.

Tech Tip
"Oil Filter & Oil Cooler Bypass Valves"
From Speed Reading by Wade Hajek of GM Performance Parts
Gen V and Gen VI big-block crate engines come with two oil pressure bypass valves
installed in the engine blocks. Both of these valves are rated at 11 psi pressure
differential. One valve is for the oil filter and the other is for the production oil
cooler. If you install an aftermarket oil cooler or remote oil filter that attaches to the
oil filter pad on the engine block, you should be aware that you need to change the oil
filter bypass valve in the engine block. The aftermarket oil lines add resistance which
will cause the bypass valve to bypass the aftermarket oil cooler and/or oil filter all the
time. Obviously, if the cooler and filter are bypassed the oil will be dirty and hot. Your
engine could run hotter and could be damaged by dirt in the oil. If you choose to use an
aftermarket cooler or remote oil filter that attaches to the pad, you should change the
bypass valve to one with a higher differential pressure rating. A good choice would be GM#
25161284 which is rated at 30 psi. Remove the valve that is closest to the crankshaft and
replace it with the new valve. Press the new valve into the engine block and stake it in
three places. You should note that the bypass valves don't need to be changed if you use a
production oil cooler which uses the production holes in the engine block and you don't
use a remote oil filter. Also, if you use an adapter that just angles the filter for
clearance you don't need to change the bypass valves.
