Let's look at this from the TOP(end that is). Nothing like the HI-RPM scream (6000rpm or MORE) going thru the gears. Rev to the stratosphere. That's the 383, baby! Otherwise, YOU'RE just all "TORQUE" (talk)!! And YOUR basement door slams shut AT 5-6000rpm.
A 440 will be two car lengths ahead of the 383 before it even gets to 5000 RPM!
And LOTS of 440's are pulling strong well past 6000
