Will 440 heads fit on a 383?
There really is no such thing as a specific 440 head. The 906’s, 902,452,915 (and there a half dozen more heads) will fit any 383, 400 or 440. They are completely interchangeable. The intake manifolds for a 440 will not fit a 383/400 however without machining or adaptor plate to go the other way.

Make it high torque or high horsepower, let it idle in traffic, and get 19-plus mpg at 80 mph, and “they will come.” American Speed Enterprises builds these long-life 383 stroker motors to be driven, but when you get 480 ponies out of them, you can be top dog at the local track day, too.
What’s the difference between a 350 and a 383 stroker?
The only difference between the 2 engines with regard to parts are crank, rod and pistons. If you have to purchase these parts for whichever engine you choose, the cost difference will be minimal. The additional cubic inches of the 383 will give more HP and torque, although a well built 350 won’t be that far behind.
