So my dad bought a 383 stroker of a buddy was a fresh motor Motor was in a off road truck that flipped over and caught fire so long story my dad got a 383 for about 400$ motor was on fire long enough to melt the intake carb and valve covers off so my question is what's next strip the motor dwn naked ?? The motor turns over with a wrench with the plugs out and the truck was extinguished up Side dwn so no water in motor So what I was hoping to do was drop the pan pull the heads put new springs and seals push rods and put it back together I now it sounds risky but my pops is on a budget SO WHAT DO YOU THINK I'm all ears

GT should chime in soon and tell you I'm wrong, but I would think you'd be fine. But he's paranoid like that. But he's usually right too dammit.

So my dad already had the pan off and said there was no signs of water in it and the oil filter was still intact
