Cool,congrats. Not sure I understand ,,,,,,,a pair of heads to put on the 383 is about the same as a longblock 440 from Indy? What are your power expectations? need a little more of an explanation IMO.

Another option to finding a complete used motor is buying a stroker rotating assy for the 383 block, and putting some nice heads on it.
.040 over is a 491, .060 over is a 496..... both using a 4.250 stroke.

What are your power expectations? 550-650 horsepower and mid 11 second results for now

I'd put that motor back together and see what you can find in a complete used race motor. Don't know what it has for valve train and intake. But there is nothing in the long block you really want to upgrade with. Small cubes, stock rods, heavy pistons, factory heads. Doug I don't see much for used race engines out there
