The 383 Stroker is an eight-cylinder engine made by Chevrolet that has a standard 350 block and an altered 400 crank. The altered crankshaft increases the number of piston strokes, which allows more air into the cylinders, which equates to a higher horsepower. The 383 Stroker is essentially a custom engine that can be built and installed into vehicles with the proper clearance. Because of its sheer horsepower, it is sometimes installed into muscle cars like the Chevy Camaro. Tuning up the Stroker is a standard part of its maintenance.
