Lots of opinions on this, I used a 440 source for my 400 block set up 512ci, everything checked good out of the box, still pin fitted the piston pins to the pistons AND rods, crank was very good, been running it for lots of smiles.

Unfortunately availability is a bigger problem now than quality. Check around for what is a actually in stock and your choices will probably be narrower.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

We are planning to build a 496 with .060 over 383. The only kits I have found are Hughes and 440 source for my cid. I spoke with Glen @ Hughes earlier this summer about their kit and he mentioned that they were mix and matching crank and rod manufactures to complete the "kits". Molnar crank/Eagle rods etc if the customer didn't mind. Maybe by now they are getting some of that stuff back on the shelf. 440 source has a 438 kit, a little smaller than your goal but both their 438 and 489/496 they claim minimal grinding if any. Pretty sure the source kit uses Icon pistons like Hughes. I have a 500 inch 440 source kit in a RB with roughly 12,xxx miles and zero issues. I will probably use Todd Marsh when we are ready he can get Molnar and Diamond pistons to put something together for you. Of course if and when available.

THANKS CAB, ITS FOR MY 68 383 FORMULA S..SO I WANT TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL MOTOR IN THE CAR,, WILL BE USING ORIG EXH MANIFOLDS ALSO.. IT NEEDS A REBUILD
JUST FIGIRED I WOULD BUY A STROKER KIT AND MAKE IT A LITTLE FASTER AND HAVE ALL NEW PARTS.. JUST A STREET CAR 280-510 HYDRAULIC 3;23 REAR 340 CONVERTER
DON'T CARE WHERE THE HP ENDS UP.. SINCE I,M USING MANIFOLDS WOULD YOU REC MAYBE A 432 OVER A 472 OR 496?.. THANKS DAN If using ex manifolds, I recommend getting a custom cam, you will need one with 112 to 114 ish LSA for it to work better with manifolds

Honestly if its the original block and you have no hp requirement just rebuild the engine. You didn't mention cylinder head or any other upgrade along with the cubic inches. Stock stroke 383's run really well. ITS BASICALLY THE SAME MONEY STROKED OR STOCK IS WHY.. PLUS MUCH BETTER PARTS TECHNOLOGY NOW... HAVE STOCK STEALTH HEADS , M/P STOCK STYLE ALUM INTAKE AND ALUM W PUMP AND HOUSING TO DROP 100LBS OR SO OFF THE FRONTEND

If you want to do something a little different, the stock crank with a 7.10 rod and the Icon IC-513 piston gives you a workable combination. Otherwise I would shop for crank and rods first, Icon has reasonably priced pistons for the 3.75, 4.15 and 4.25 combos with the 383 now. S/F.....Ken M SEEMS MOLNAR IS WHAT I AM HEARING A LOT FOR CRANK AND RODS.. WHAT DO YOU PREFER? THANKS FOR THE INPUT
