I know that the 361 4V is a good combo. While pulling parts at a salvage yard, I came across a '63 Newport 361 2v under a tarp that starts and drives with little body issues.
It can use the 915 head but the HP factor is still the same as originally listed. The 383 2V lost 25 HP and has 1.0 more compression for that same year. Yeah, it would be great to have a Chrysler in the lanes but is it do- able as a dime rocket?
