Building a 383 can get quite expensive, machine work and good heads aren't cheap. By kits I take it you mean rotating assemblies if so expect to pay for balancing. A good balanced rotating assembly with a steel crank will probably cost 3 times the prices you mentioned.
I'm not trying to scare you off a 383 I have one myself in a S10 and it will make a lot of hp but hp isn't cheap. Actually my 383 is sitting on a stand but I'll get it back in my truck one day, rather work on my C10 right now.

Well any time I hear 3 times the price, knowing I don't need that much HP, I'll run away pretty fast since I don't NEED it just want it lol. Not really feeling the extra cost that will get unused anyway.
I'd like to swap out to a manual transmission though and was considering an sm465? Any ideas on what would go well with the 2 piece 350 crate? what do you all run behind it?
