383 Block/Crank/Heads

I don't know if the cost justifies the benefits for what I'm building guys. I'm looking at a nice, smooth performing street machine that would posses some major torque for the road. The 383 would do the job, but it sounds more like something for the strip guys or enthusiasts with some more cash then what I've got. I think the 360 is my best bet for both budget and simplicity.
