Re: 305 to supercharged 383

Assuming you want to know if you can swap in a new longblock and bolt a SC on and go
Also assuming this is TBI because the TB isnt a high priority for TPI guys

Short answer, no

Alot of tuning and supporting mods are needed to get this thing to run. Refer to the TBI forum for details
