Mild 383 build

What is mild to you? Do you have a list of compromises it has to built around?
Is running deeper gears, higher stall, higher peak rpm (5000-6000 rpm +) etc.. A problem?

Most have certain range of gear and stall their willing to run, I'd start there a that determines generally how much cam you get away with. Then pick the heads(hp) cr, intake exhaust that's gonna work with those cid cam gears and stall.
