I don't hear of too many people who simply stroke it to 383 cid.
A 4'' stroke and 4'' bore makes 402 CID. The 4.030 and 3.75 makes a 383. It depends on what you are using the engine for, in a car probably neither of those. In a light truck, the 383. And in a heavy truck you're going to want the 402. But the 383 would be much better suited for a car than that 402 would. A shorter stroke is better for a car. Thats why I said neither of those, for a car you would use a 355.(4.030X3.48)
