Yes, parts availability is one of my concerns. However, as the 383 is essentially a 350 block bored-out, it look like many of the bolt-on parts are the same as those used on the other 350 motors, such as the 350 MAG. I know this is true with the alternator, power steering pump and starter motor, according to my mechanic. Also, I have read that Mercury is selling quite a few of these to replace the 454 and other big blocks in re-power applications, so I am hoping there will be a plentiful supply of parts down the road.
