Is the 383 a better engine, or does the 440 just have more displacement?

I have owned and driven to work,
a 65 383 4sp Fury
a 69 383 4sp Road Runner,
a 70 383 Cuda automatic
a 69 bone stock 440 4sp GTX,
a 70 440-6 bone stock 4sp Road Runner
a 71 440(67 440warmed up) 4sp GTX
a 73 bone stock 440 Road Runner GTX automatic

All were a blast to drive but the 383 cars lost a lot of street races.
The 69s and 71 440 cars were unbeatable. If you ever get the chance to put a 440 car thru the gears you will understand the differance between a BB and a RB. Then there was my Hemi in a 70 Challenger. Not a drive 35 miles one way to work car.
No replacement for displacement it my be but put your foot into 3nd gear and then yank 4th gear in a 440 car, stock or modified.
