Umm, thats kinda a no brainer. The 383 build with similar components is gonna make more power.

Actually I just read a good article today about buying crate engines. How much are you wiling to spend, and what kinda numbers are you lookin for? Daily driver, weekend warrior? You have to be a little more specific.

On a budget - 350 w/ 10:1
No $ Limit - 383

All in how much you got. And as Darth asked: daily driver or weekend warrior?
