Possible Setup: 383, TH350, 4.11 Rear, 32.3" tires

Team:

1970 C20, 2WD, stock everything

I am taking my engine to the shop today and have been thinking a lot about my build and the components I would like it to have in the end. My question is based on my lack of knowledge, but need to develop a budget and good DD in the end.

I have been reading a lot about 383s and know I would enjoy some additional torque for towing and smiles.

I have also been reading a lot about swapping a 700R4 into the truck for its OD and mpg improvements. But also know that a well maintained TH350 is an iron lung, and simply shows up to work everyday.

Lastly, I have 4.11 gears in back and plan on running 32.2" tires on all four corners.

All that being said, would the 383, th350, 4.11 rear, and 32.2" tires be a decent setup for reliability and daily driving?

I am by no means an expert, but can follow logic and most engine/drivetrain talk. So please share any insight and knowledge because I appreciate the learning experience.

Mahalo!
