i have a 383 block that i stopped working on a couple years ago and now making a return. i wanted to go carbed since most people say its cheapest and easiet way to get horsepower. emission is not of a problem in my area. i would have to indeed learn about carbs and how they work. i have stripped the wires in the car in place for a dfi gen 7. but now i am thinking of getting painless wiring kit to have all my neccessities working like wipers headlights. im not too sure what to do i need some opinions and advice. i ll name all the parts that i have in the car. 1991 z28
385 stroker
with trickflow twisted wedge heads fully ported and polished.
cam 230/244 duration .544/.576lift with 1.6 rocker arms. hydraulic roller 112ls
all forged bottom end with 10 to 1 compression je pistons.
roller double timing chain.
msd6al ignition.

my question is can i use all of the above when it was for a fuel injected motor and to be used for a carb set up even the cam??? im trying to have this to be a weekend warrior not a daily driver but for street and strip. what carbs and what intake manifolds would go with what i have best. any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

if i were you, i'd go with a 750 double pumper, RPM air gap, and a pro billet hei. lock out the timing at 36* and run a start retard box.

what gears and stall you going with?

 

for now i have the stock 10 bolt rear end with 3.73 gears and the transmission is pro built 700r4 with shift kit and art carr parts. and 3000 stall converter. lock out the timing at 36* im not sure i understand that part. and the retard box?? also i have the southside machine lift bars kit that isnt installed and needs to be but noone brave enough around here to install any other ideas. thanks

 

Weird, I wonder if there is something wrong with a HSR/cc306 combo....cause I had the same combo and ended up switching it to carb.

 

what did u use? and how did your car run with the hsr and 306 cam?
