Question.... why would you want to go to carb? pretty sure you will need new intake and fuel regulator for fuel pump

I would just build another motor with carb if you are going to race it. Assuming your truck has 100,000 plus? You would just be asking for destruction on that motor.

Build you a hemi and slap this on it!
