ANOTHER 305 to 383 SWAP QUESTION

Hey im planing on swapping my 305 TBI to a 383 stroker. Im planing on using as much of the orignal stuff off my 305 I can (wiring harness) is this possible? I heard I would be able to go find a different ECM that was in..I cant remember that had a 350 TBI setup. I WILL be changing the injectors in my TBI unit and the fuel pump no way that stuff from my TBI would hold its own for a 383. BUT what else will I need to adress??? I live in ontario so I still have to put up with the dam POLLUTION *****.

FEEL FREE TO LEAVE STEP BY STEP HOLD MY HAND WALK THRU =D

Re: ANOTHER 305 to 383 SWAP QUESTION

you shouldnt have to change your fuel pump mine works great
what are you emission laws like can yo swap a carb on to it like i did
the problem with changin injectors is you not only have to provide more fuel but the air also
i used a lot of my factory stuff like my sensors but other than that i kinda tossed it out the window

well ask if you have more questions hope i can point you in the right direction
