Cost or your abilities will be the deciding factor. If you cant do the work necessary to clearance the block for the bigger crank, its gonna cost you a pretty penny to build a 383.

If you can afford it go for the 383 or build a 400 sbc there great street engines they make tons of torque down low.

Do the 350, and spend most of your left over money on good heads.
