I am getting ready to rip out my piece of crap computer controled 305 and putting me a beasty 383 with a 600 cfm carb in its place. Do any of ya'll have any tips that might make this project a little bit less of a pain in the a$$. Do you know of the easiest way to hook up the throtle cable, and the kick down for the trans. Also how to route the new fuel lines I will need to have.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome aboard.

Several posts have talked about TBI to carb conversion. Others about the special needs of an externally balanced 383. You'll need to decide whether to maintain the factory in-tank electric pump and use a step-down regulator, or pull the in-tank and go with an on-engine mechanical.

Are you sure you want to use a 600 cfm carb on a 383? Especially a "beasty 383"? Sounds a bit small.

Hope you've got "big" plans for exhaust upgrades, too.

Sorry to hear you feel that way about computer control. Totally misdirected, in my opinion.
