Default Need some help, mods needed to support 383 LT1

Took my block and heads in to get my 383 completed today (the whoopee! post is under general discussion). Need help with the following:

1) Fuel pump upgrade: Understand I should put in a higher flow pump. So, which one and from where?

2) MAF: I'm told the stock unit won't flow enough. Anyone know the CFM? Can it be ported without ruining it, or is Granatelli the best way to go?

Thanks for the help.

Must be the season for 383s. i was in the same situation and the fuel pump I went with is the Racetronics - They do have a wiring kit that goes with it.

For MAF - I went with 52mm although many on the forum use a 58mm.

I know how you feel!!!! :cheers: :cheers:
