I would say keep the 400, the long stroke over the 383 will develop more low end torque that will help move your chevelle(bit heavier than a camaro/nova). I would say rebuild it as a low compression blower motor and add a D1SC to make a motor putting out 800+ horsepower that is pump gas compatible.

EDIT: 383s and 400s have the same stroke, I must have been thinking of a 377. Either way I still say the 400 is a better choice.
