Was thinking of going the 383CI route with the Eagle Rotating Assembly but wouldnt have a clue on a Carb
You could get some decent heads and a nice 650 cfm 5bbl with that much. Beyond that, I'm not sure you need a 383 on your budget. Funny thing is, you'll be lucky to get 10 more hp if all things remain equal, from the 350 to the 383. You could get a decent amount of torque though. But why spend the money.

I would have your existing heads ported - as far as 500$ will get you. Then I would buy a dual plane, 650 4bbl carb, and a nice cam to fit your application. Tack on headers if that will fit your budget. I think you'll be surprised.
