Yes. The popular thing is to use a 350 crankshaft, and make a 383. You need special spacer type bearings, as there is a journal difference, and I would suggest a 6 inch rod, which will cut down on side loading. And, to make it breath, you will need an aftermarket type head, like DART, or Brodix.

Chevy 400 small block ,and 350 small block are the same block and they are interchangeable. Essentially this person is right however, the stroke on the 400 is different, with a 4.00 stroke. Also, there are some subtle differences, such as either the presence of a third freeze plug on the side of the engine block, or not having one at all. The bell housing is the same and you can make a larger engine out of a 400 block. Due to the fact the bore and stroke is the same dimension. also you will need the flywheel or flexplate off the 400 because they are externally balanced.
