ok, your on the right track.
#3 Your going to need more cam shaft but with a smallish overlap to keep cylinder pressure up. If your wanting to keep the stock valve train (i would step up and get quality stuff now cause your going to want to upgrade later) your gonna have to stay hydraulic. The 383 loves rev's so i would go solid lifter right out of the gate. I like the comps extreme energy line or the lunati voodoo.
