A 350 is no slouch. It's tried and true, will run all day and give you years of service. I think what is missing here is your end goal for the truck, if you want a tire frying beast then a built 383 is the right choice. If on the other hand you want a dependable daily driver that will start every time and bring home a load of lumber with no struggle then look at at the 350... Just for the record, I would keep the 283, great strong running engine with plenty of power and can be built to run with the Big Dog's. I have seen 283's that can eat Big Blocks for lunch. Just my $0.02 worth.
