For starters, you can put some 383 Parts in an LT1, like the crank, to get some more HP. Doesnt mean you have a 383 CI motor.
Any of those LT1 kits will work.
These kits are for bottem end rebuilds, to handle something like a S/C.
$700 is a pretty good deal, but the labor is going to be through the roof.

If youre still puzzled, call them, tell them what you have and what you want to do.

An LT1 is not a GEN I SBC, it is a GEN II SBC. The cranks are different, the GEN I uses a 2 piece rear main seal until the late 80`s (might be 86), The GEN II uses a 1 piece rear main seal. 99% of the lower budget 383 kits are made for the older style 2 piece seal GEN I SBC`s and will not work in a GEN II engine.
Gen 1 has both 1 and 2 piece rear mains i think 86 and older is 2 piece and 87 and newer is one peice. The gen 2 cranks will swap into a one peice rear main gen one block the differance between the gen 1 and gen 2 is the heads, they have different bolt pattens.
