from this thread it doesnt seem like you really understand what your in for. First off... a vortec 350 is not a "junk" motor. You could easily pull 400+ crank hp out of that thing with a little machine work on the heads for the cam lift, a bigger cam, and the right intake and carb. As for your intake, any dual plane will be fine. Holley carbs in my experience tend to be awesome. And next, if your going to build a 383, it shouldnt be on a "budget". You basically have to get the stock block bored and rebuilt, a new crank, all new pistons and rods, etc. also you mentioned not wanting to use vortec heads cause "everyone else does that", well who doesnt put a 350 in a camaro or other gm car? who cares what everyone else is doing?
