Then find a shop that knows how to put a engine together properly.As stated problem is with a 383 you really want some decent heads to let it breath properly.
Question still is ; what do you want to do with engine?
A hot rebuild of your original 350 may get you what you want.

Just looking at the link above makes me wonder if there is much diffrence between a 383 and a 395 stroker, as in what other components and machining is required.

Longer stroke on 396 means more block clearance work needed especially down on the pan rails and need to run small base circle cam for rod clearance.
Probably want to set up to a 210 head as well to make the most from the extra ci.

If you are keen to have a matvhing numbers engine I would consider what I would do if the engine is modified to a 383 and a bearing explodes ;38or the rods fail ;38. I would save my numbers engine and look to buy a second hand block and build it from there.
