First and formost, thanks for defending our country, from one military man to another.

Hate to burst the bubble, but according to my geometry, boring the motor .060 over will only give you 360 CID. 383 is an option you can make on a Chevy 350 with a stroker crankshaft. Don't know if there is a stroker to be had for the Rocket, but I am sure either Dick Miller, or Mondello or any other up and coming Olds racing folks (Bulldog racing or engineering comes to mind...) would know for sure.

And you can get MOST of the interior items reproduced from Fusick (fusick.com), OPGI (original parts group as seen on Overhaulen) or BAP (oldsparts.com)

Good luck to ya on the resto, and be safe out there.

John
