Speaking of big blocks...does the 440 and 383 use the same exhaust manifold? They do don't they?

yes they do..

Yes and no. For the most part, yes, but there are couple instances where they are different. Such as the factory big block A bodies, some of the early 383s in the B and C bodies used different ones and then there is the 383 HP manifold which is different yet.
