For that power level in a driveable car, do the 383.

my dads race car makes 600 crank hp outof a 388 witch is just a 383 bored 30 over. But its still carb'd and he doesnt really push it to the max, it has alot more left in it. Ive seen race motors make 825 crank h/p outof 392 N/A Cubes, It wasnt very stretable, but its all what you consider strteetable.
