I tried 1.6crane rocker arms on a 440 for my old mans charger,484 cam,9.0:1 compression,11"convertor and 3.91 gears,the car was very lame,wouldnt even spin the tyres so I put on stock stamped steel gear and it was a different animal,ran mid 13s,certainly on this combo,they didnt work.

Rebuild your 383,a nice combo of parts is enough to run 13s although it does cost the same as building a 440 which youd get another 50 or 60hp.
I ran a 493stroker 440 for 4 years,made 650hp/650 torque with no problems.

Could only run 12.2s with a fuel system like this on a 440 in the GTX,before fuel starvation,Dave R can probabley get away 0n a 11.9 because of the extra float bowl on his six pack,with dual fours it should be possible to run 11.6s with your same fuel system Adam. The carter fuel pump doesnt like to...

With 98 mph you should be able to run 13.2s with every thing perfect.391s are a good choice,use a convertor around 2800stall or a 10"3500 stall for more serious effort,gonna need soft tyres or better yet slicks,reckon thatll do it,easy mid 13s.
Just my opinion.
