some 5.3 bored to 3.905 the walls are to thin. i ran into that problem and i wouldnt do it.
the price difference between a 408 and 383 are couple hundred bucks for the blocks.

cant build a 383 out of a 6.0. the main difference between a 408(6.0 block X 4in stroke crank) is the $1k crank shaft. imo stay with a 370 unless you got the money to buy the crank
