Who thinks I'm crazy?

Well, for the last year or so I have been planning a 408 stroker build and getting all the parts down on paper as far as what I will use and what it will cost. I was a couple days away from the machine shop when I read an article in my latest mag where they added a cam (xe285), carb (850 demon), intake (M1), and headers to a bone stock spec 383 and ended up with 450 hp and around 460 torque. It got me thinking, why not do a big block instead. So, needless to say I am scouring the area for a 383 or 400 to build instead. Am I nuts to take this on or should I just go with my gut? Ever since I rode in Gary's (pushrod) 512 inch dart, I've been wanting a big block instead. I havent really accumulated too many parts for the stroker and I bought a short block, a set of magnum heads, and an Eagle 4" cast crank, so there is a lot of little stuff to get along the way. I just think that if I can find a complete 383 or 400 for $350-$450 bucks I'll be better off money wise and end up with just as much power or more than the stroker? What do you guys think?
