No I don't believe it will. And you will need a intake manifold and carb and the correct distributer and. I can't remember what year your truck is but if it has fuel injection you will need to take out the fuel pump too.

FWIW try to avoid Carburation with that 10% Ethanol crap they're putting in gas now, it eats the insides of the carb and if you drive it ALOT you'll be rebuilding it every year.

I know a lot of companies are putting ethanol in their gas, but there are still a few that don't do that crap. I always fill my truck up with nothing but 93 octane Shell gas, cause their gas is "nitrogen enriched" and contains no ethanol... at least there's no reference to ethanol on the pumps.

I tried looking on they're site but do you know if the carb (edelbrock avs 600 cfm carb) is a 2 or 4 barrel. I would like to put it on my 88 dakota 3.9 carburated or the guy also has some weiland intake manifold for a 318...so since i am building a 390 stroker out of a 318 i might just get the manifold and carb?

Thanks

I would assume it's a 4bbl. I would recommend the Edlebrock Air Gap intake though.
