383 6-pack
Right now I have a numbers matching 383 .. however, it's going to need some work .. I don't have the stock Carb and I'm thinking about adding a 6-pack .. good idea or bad idea? the 6-pack is Mopar OEM ... thoughts on re-sale values good or bad
As always Thanks

I really like your RR the way she is!
Installing the six pack won't negatively affect your resale, as long as you don't toss the original pieces out.
Personally I wouldn't waste the
on it. ~shrugs~ but that's just me. 6 packs are a scream to drive though.

I don't want to put down the 6 pack, but it doesn't add a significant increase in performance over a good 4 bbl. If YOU want a 6 pack, by all means, go for it. It does have a significant cool factor. One other down side, they require a LOT of tuning...just be ready for that..
For the record, I am considering a 6 Pack for my stroker motor I am putting on my Duster

6-packs are hard to tune to get the best out of them. They are EXTREMELY cool to see on almost any Mopar, but why not just go with a dual quad setup? Easier to tune and you will have 8 instead of 6.
It is your vehicle though, do with it what YOU want. We can only make suggestions.

Oh you making this tough.. I really want the 6 pack .. put I can't stand a poor running carb which got me into this in the 1st place.. speaking of carbs I need to replace my carb a the min.. I have a perfomance cam and headers do you think a 700cfm is to big? I have a 600 on now.
Also no thoughts on with a 6 pack add value to the resale I hate to say what I paid for the car ... here in Chicago I'm told I stole it .. I'm sure in other area's I over paid...
Polardude .. Sorry dude I knwn you love stock and I'm leaning that way ... But I just don't like my overall performance vs other muscle cars I've owned <-- of course theren't stock
Thanks again

No doubt about it, 6 packs are really really sexy. Did I mention they're sexy? But I hate carbs anyway, and they hate me right back...so I wouldn't swap the system in. But that's me. I actually want to drive my cars and not scowl for hours with screwdriver in hand and get all bent.
If it were MY money (and it's not), I'd invest it elsewhere.
I'm a big fan of factory-stock cars. I believe a big block car should remain as stock as possible. What you want to do is reversible without great effort, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea if you go to resell it. Not everyone (including me) is great with carbs and the 6 pack might be daunting.
You don't have a 700 cfm on your 383? Well swap it out man!

Chlngr 1970 Thank you I called both Holley and Edlerbrock and they are in that suggested range as well. Now if I could just "fine tune it" life would be all good .. carb's hate me... In fact, I think my old carb was stealing money from me.. but that's a long story

You are 100 percent correct .. I called both Holley and Edlebrock and one company ask all the questions you listed above and made 2 recommendations on Carbs and one company just ask engine size only. Needless to say I based my order on the company that provided the most customer service ... Now I'll just have to wait for my Carb to be shipped

It's your car do what you want with it .. I would put the original engine is storage and put a 400 stroker in it or the 440 6 pack and have fun. The idea is to keep all the stock parts so it would be very easy to return it to stock if you decided to sell it....
