My question to you GregWeld is how happy are you with that 383 motor/EFI motor?

Sorry --- missed your post....
The Smeding built 383 / EFI motor is great... and for what it's in (my 32 Ford Roadster) it works perfectly. I'd still never put money into a SBC build vs buying a crate LS platform. Unless you're going for some looks or using parts you already had on the shelf - thus making the SBC motor way way cheaper and you were on a tight budget. If I wanted to use a carb -- I'd just get an LS motor and run the Edelbrock carb manifold and controller on it. Super simple - light weight - bad ass... and upgradeable going forward with a simple cam swap etc.
