I have a lead on a 350 4 bolt and a 406 2 bolt. I want the hp to be around 425 hp as a starting point for both engines. I know the 406 will probably have more torque than the 383, how much, I don't know.

 
I would not use a 400 block. The 383 can be built with a much newer 350 block. In the past I could source a 350 4 bolt block, CNC clearance for 383, completey machined, bored with deck plate, deck surfaced, line bored, cam bearings installed. For about $700-800.

A smaller bore/ longer stroke vs. a bigger bore/ shorter stroke of about the same displacement (ie. 305 vs. 302) should get better mileage. The longer stroke should make better low end torque which should help with mileage.The longer rod gives more duration at tdc and yes you can run higher comp on them if I rember right. yes you have to use special pistons, it allows you to rev higher but I think if any thing it hurts torque.
