If you're set on building a 383, you might be better off selling your 350 and start with over with a 4 bolt 350 core. If you could find a '96-'02 L31 Vortec engine as a core, that would save you a little when it comes to the roller cam.
I came to realize that late last night when I was adding up parts. I called the Mrs's and told her I need 3k instead of 2. Was told "What ever makes you happy im ok with"!! So I have alittle more wiggle room now. But the deal is I can iether build up the one I already have or have to build a new one and keep the old for her camaro.

I was researching last night and found that an 87' and up block was made for a roller but just used hyd. is this true cause then I could just go hunting for a new block.
