to stroke or not to stroke?

my 383 loves the big bore short stroke, can't wait for the new trickflow head to replace the full port big valve 915's. a little more cam and gear and I'll spin it to 7500/8000.
that's we built it for. I may some day build a nonstroked 440. the barn is full of usable bigblock cores and 1 La 360 core. I never built a smallblock.
