unless I'm thinking wrong, a 350 with a '383 crank' is a 383. A 377 is a destroked 400 (350 crank). Guys used to build those in the old days with an eye towards high rpm. Kind of like a bigger 302. which is a bad match to OE TPI.

A 383 built for torque might be great for tpi. w/o spending $$ on an intake that can pull past 5000 rpm building a motor designed to rev high is no use. Although I still think the best bang for your $$ is a simple 350 +.030.

what trans & rear gears are you planning on? if you want to save$$ you need to plan the whole system together.
