Weight of a 383 block?
Does anybody happen to have a resource where I can get the weight of a 383 vs. the weight of a Chevy 350 -or the weight of each and I can do the math 
? I'm changing engines in a 23 T-Bucket from a 350 to a 383 and curious to know what the effect is going to be on handling, suspension, etc. Thx.
Growing OLD is mandatory. Growing UP is optional. I've opted out!

I have No idea, I would bet the weight of assembled engines The 383 is probably 150 lbs more than the 350. Without the rear dist. You may be able to move the engine back further, and you should within reason.
