ANY bigblock head will fit, 'xcept for the MaxWedge heads. but it seems doubtful you will stumble onto a pair of these.
Newer heads will require 'matching'/more common 6-bolt valvecovers though.

What's the bore on an RB 383? There are heads with smaller valves. My '60 413 heads are casting number 2128521 and have 2.08" intake valves and 1.60" exhaust. You probably need something from a 361 or RB 383.
