305 to 383 swap.

howdy all.
im planning on doing a 383 swap this winter on my 1990 305 RS.
got the tranny and everything for the added power of the motor.
i just need help with the fuel lines.
will the stock fuel lines work or will i need bigger ones?
i hear to big of fuel lines isnt good. but i dont know.

and i know i may blow the rear end of my car. i also was wonder. what is a good rear end to get?
i keep hearing the 4th gen posi rear ends are good.
i want something strong that wont break.

im wanting to do at least 12s or better on the drag strip.

9" or 12 bolt rear although very expensive are great rears... or read the tech article on how to beef up a 10 bolt. Stock you will be lucky to last on the strip with good traction.(dont forget LCARBs)

i know where you can get a ford 9" rear out of an old ford pickup but u may want to sandblast it and change the gears out. plus a disk break conversion kit and bracket kit so you can mount that dang thing. thats what i did with my drift car.
