well i found a 383/727 out of a 67 new yorker for $300 and the same combo out of a 68 satellite for $350. ive only seen a handfull of 440's locally and they go for at least double and im not a big fan of the 400
i didnt realise the 383 wasnt a good motor to build? i looked up a 67 383 and it listed it as 280hp/400 ftlb 10:1 CR i figured heads cam intake and headers would easily get that in the 400hp neighborhood
maybe ill just hold out for a deal on a 440
If you found a 67 New Yorker,it had a 440 unless someone changed it.

Something to note going from a 360 to 383... You are adding about 80lbs depending on the components. The 360 is a 3.58 stroke and 4.00 bore. The 383 is a 3.37 stroke and 4.25 bore. IMO, you are making a lateral move at best... With that truck's mass, you want as much stroke as you can get. If it were me, I'd invest in gears or parts for the 360 to go faster, or get your hands on a 440 and brake booster so you can bolt it in.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
