If you already have a good rotating assembly, go ahead and build a 350. If you need to replace it, build a 383.

Instead, sell it and get a 400
Need more details it sounds like you have a 30 over block but just a 30 over block. Doesent let us know if it's a fresh bore or in the past it has been bored.

It'll need to be checked then to see if you can get away with just honing it, or if it needs to be bored and new pistons put in.
If it does need new pistons, that's a great excuse to spend a little extra on a new crank to build a 383.
