okay my 1967 273 to 383 swap is done. the 383 is a 330 horsepower 1970 HP N code with a stock carb AVS 4736S which i believe is a 600 CFM. the question is for a simple boost in power do i jet this carb, or do i go to a 750 CFM? is this overkill or will i get good results? thanks Gerry

my 1969 383HP that i just put in my 1967 barracuda, came with a factory Carter 4736S, but i had a 4966S sitting around that i rebuilt for a 440 Satellite i used to own, and I just put it on the 383. car seems to run better, can anyone tell me the difference that i've gained with the carb swap...

does anyone have a part number, or know where to buy the white, nylon (i think) bushing that has a tab, and slides into the hole that the throttle idle setting screw goes into, and then the throttle idle screw goes into it and expands it to hold the screw on an AVS. thanks Gerry

in the images of my 383 AVS, at the upper top there is a pressure relief of some sort, there is a spring and a ball in it but no visable outlet. my question is, the spring is visable and the ball is on top of the spring away from the opening in the brass retainer, is this the way it should be...

I finally rebuilt the original Carter AVS that came stock with my 383 and it runs fine, and i took off my Carter 440 AVS that had the bogging problem, and the pump jet wasn't squirting when the accelerator pump was stroked, so i removed the pump jet, and put a pin along side the needle to see if...

Okay my 1967 Barracuda 383 install is completed, and the power and torque makes all my B-body swaps boring, but i have a problem. I've rebuilt lots of 1 bbl and 2 bbl carbs and ony a few 4 bbl carbs, so therefore i need some guidance. the car goes like hell feeding the throttle firmly, but if i...

Okay guys, i need a solution to a problem that many of you have already solved. My recently finished 383 swap is done, but i'm left with large bolt patterned 14" wheels on the front, and small bolt patterned 14" wheels on the back. the front spindles, rotors are supposed to be 1973, maybe 1972...

well i've managed to keep my power steering, power brakes and column shift and still stuff in a 383 thanks to everybody's help mainly Jim Lusk. to keep the column, i just shaved it a bit as per the picture and welded a plate across my cut. thanks again Gerry

Does anyone know from experience what part numbers of a national muffler manufacturer, that will give my 1967 383 Barracuda the same sound that it would have had coming new from Chrysler? Thanks Gerry

hi Guys, i'm just about finished my 383 Barracuda swap, but i'm having a brake problem. i got the car with a new master cylinder and power booster to fit a 1974 dart, the same as my K-frame and disks brakes that were on the car when i bought it. i also got a seperate proportioning valve (not...

the lokar kickdown linkage seem to be made for a Holley carb that has a downward extension on the throttle linkage that moves toward the front of the car when the upper part is pulled back by the throttle cable, thus allowing for a forward pull on the lokar cable. the stock AFB's have only an...

Does anyone have a source, or better yet a part number or manufacturer for the 4 white nylon clips that snap in over the wiring harness running in the grove of the drivers side fenderwell? they snap across the harness into small holes above and below the wiring on its way to the battery. i'd...

a friend said that he'd heard that if i changed my 1967 pitman arm, idler arm, and center link to the ones used from 1973-77 that i'd get an extra 2" pan clearance, any truth to this? thanks Gerry

Hi Guys, can anyone give me the correct number stamped on the oil pan that i need for my 1967 383 barracuda swap. the interchange manual states that a 1967-68 pn# is 2863892 for the 383, but i need the number stamped on the pan for easy i.d. The one on my transplant is stamped 187 and it rubs on...

can anyone give me the casting number for the driver's side manifold on a 383 barracuda (the wierd looking one). apparently there was the original one first brought out that was 2 1/4" outlet, then in June of 1967 they brought out another improved one that was 2 7/16" that allowed more cooling...

well i've put the motor in temporarily to check clearances. i have a few questions. if the car is level front to back, should the motor be level front to back? i had the log style manifold suggested for the drivers side, any other ideas, other than headers? would love some castings numbers!

All my big block swaps have been B -body in which i've lowered motor with transmission into the engine comparment as one unit, basically with one person sitting on the cowl pushing the transmission down with their feet to get it in. Can the A-body 383 swap be done as a unit?, and finally is...

can someone tell me what torsion bars i have? the one on the passenger side is marked dd over cd than an R beside it and below it 366, the drivers side is 893. they are in a 1967 barracuda that has had the K frame changed over for the Disk brakes. the front end has been all rebuilt, so i don't...

I'm hoping Jim Lusk will weigh in on this. Well i've got the Transdapt mounts, but the 383 i had lined up, isn't happening, but i'm finding lots of 440's. Now i've been told that the 440 gives better p.s. clearance due to the taller block, so i'm now thinking 440. Would anyone that's done the...

i've done many B body swaps from 273 to 383 or 440, now i'm going to do a 67 Barracuda 273 to 383. the previous swaps were to pull the 273 with stock mounts out, then put the 440 with stock mounts in (no modifications). now i know that the 383 with stock mounts will bolt to the k frame that i've...
