The 383 will last longer. Ive built plenty and do this for a living. A 377 also is a stroked 350. The 383 part comes in when you .030 over a 350. A 350 stroked is a 377, a .030 over 350 is a 383.
I know thats not what you meant by a 377, but i just wanted some people to know. Ive had plenty of guys think they have a 383 cause they stroked a 350 without boring it...Then i have to show them the displacement formula.fyi
I own my own business working on boats. Mercruiser makes a 377 stroked 350 that turns 5500 rpm all day and has plenty of power.A very nice motor.My 383 im building right now for my 88 will turn 7000, with power all the way there.
Any motor will survive what you want it to do as long as you throw the time,right parts, and your life savings at it!

Not these days. GM sells hydraulic rollers good for 8000 rpm. No need for solid lifters on any street/strip engine any more.

. At that rpm a solid will always be more reliable.
They both have their place.

As a follow-up to the original post, I just ran across this 414cid SBC all built and ready to drop into a C4. That would be hard to beat for a no-muss, no-fuss engine for competition.
