please help picking motor..

I want something that can be a daily driver and at the same time stomp some cars on the way....Im not to worried about handling I have a Subaru for that...the only thing that worries me is that I only have a 81/4 rear and I believe the 440 would eat that up really fast....are there more parts for the 440..then the 383...??? because Ive been floating and I see alot of poeple building 440 projects..?
