I pulled the engine/trans combo. 350/TH350. Used it as an opportunity to take the trans to a shop and have seals replaced and things inspected. In your case, you might want to check the clutch/pressure plate. Good time to replace if either is worn.

If that 383 is a bunch stouter then the 350, might want to look at a heavy duty clutch setup.

Pull the distributor before pulling the old motor and install after the new motor is in place.
