I have a 350 motor with a 60 over bore and I recently found out I needed a crankshaft with a longer stroke to make it a 383 stroker. Now all I need to know is where I can find a crankshaft online. I found this but I don't know if this is what I'm looking for. http://shop.altezzawarehouse.com/buy.php?make_text=chevy&model_text=malibu&ml=mali-classic-001&year=1978&part_name=crankshaft_trigger_kit&brand_name=msd&my=1&make_code=
So can anyone point me in the right direction?

Honestly, You shouldnt even attempt to build a 383 stroker engine without a fully balanced 383 rotating assembly. I am not sure how experienced of an engine builder you but there is more to it than just swapping out crankshafts. You have alot of areas where clearance is a factor and grinding maybe needed. Also your 350 at 60 over doesnt make for the ideal block to start with for a 383. Id say find yourself an old 350 from a truck. Alot of the truck engines had the blocks that where high in nickle and made for a better building block. But the main thing is research what you are planning to do before you jump into a hornets nest. Fully balanced 383 rotating assemblies can be found all over the internet. Eagle makes a decent one for budgets. Good luck in your adventure....

Crower, Chevrolet, Scat, Callies, are all excellent companies for a 3 3/4 " stroke crankshaft.
Scat and Chevrolet may be the least expensive. Keep this in mind the 383 with the best HP. Chevrolet parts is built to twist no higher than 6,000 RPM.
Get a copy of the 2007 GM Performance Parts Catalog P/N 19170580 at your local Chevrolet parts counter. You'll see the good parts necessary to make your 383 live. Good Luck
You do understand a lot of block work needs to be done so the connecting rods miss the block as it swings under the camshaft.

No no, that MSD trigger will not change your stroke. You need a crank from a 400. Go to this site and look at their stroker and crank kits. Don't even bother with Whitney for this.
