this is what the 383 looked like berfore the start of my overhaul on the front end. originally it came with chrome valve covers & t-stat housing i later changed to get rid of extra heat that it traps in. all though chrome is great for show, it seems to be the worst thing for heat disipation. ive got a pic of all the chrome stuff the crate came with on pg 7:
