318 magnum convert to carb

i got a great deal on a 318 magnum engine with 54k on it. my cousin wrecked the truck and said i could have it if i wanted. my question is have any of you guys switched this over to carbed intake? also will my mopar electronic ignition work on this engine. also any rough estimates of what this engine would make carbed with the stock cam? and will it bolt to my 904? hopefully it will waken up my fifth ave a little bit. maybe if im lucky i can get a high 15 quarter out of her. thanks

Power will not change with a carb over FI. At WOT they are exactly the same. FI gives you better drive-ability and tuneability. Yes it should bolt up to the 904. For HP numbers Google the model and year of the truck and you can get performance numbers.
