Building a 383 help

Is stroking the engine OK?
Does it have to be an actual 383 engine size?
What kind of power is dad making?
How fast do YOU want to go?
I'd like to not touch the block itself, so if for whatever reason I want to go back to original I can, especially since it took me forever to find a date correct A body 383. Past that I don't really have any restrictions. His chevelle makes about 550-600 horsepower, not sure torque, I could find out if you wanted. And ultimately I'd like to go as fast as I can, but, I'd rather focus on the 0-60 time over the high end speed if that makes sense. Thanks.
