Re: 383-396
I have a Callies crank, Oliver 5.85" billet steel rods, and JE pistons....This is the combo LPE used in my 383 and its been flawless since 1995...In fact, when I just freshened the motor I did a cam change and head freshen and just left the bottom end alone...It compression tested 205-220 in all 8 so I left it alone...If it ain't broke, don't fix it because you are going to break something else..(my motto..)

Re: 383-396
Won't get much for "power" from a rotating assembly.
What you need is an assembly that will get the job done without breaking the bank. Then take the money you saved by NOT buying billet parts and put that into the heads, intake, camshaft, valvetrain.
Too many people waste money on stuff they don't need.
A few questions though....
Is this going to be NA or are you going to run a power adder?
What's your HP/TQ goal?
What's the budget?

Everyone's needs are different. Just important to know what you need in the first place.
