lil friendly advice.. if your planning on dropping in a bigger motor and racing it some.... Get another car for a daily.
Whether it be a pickup, or a beater, preferably something with a big trunk

350... its much cheaper to build because you don't need the expensive 383 parts, and can make about the same power. A 383 will make more low end grunt, but with the money you'd save by keeping to a 350, you could put that somewere else like the exhaust or the heads and make just as much power.
A 350 will probably be better on gas too, but only marginally.
