Default 83 carburator set up

i'm officailly wanting to swtch to carb, and i was wondering if the carb and intake manifold out of an 83 5.0 would work for my set up?.....this is only a temporary solution as i will be going much bigger and better in the future...but i thought this would be a good question.

let me know thanks.

Why not just wait until you can do it right?

If your putting the intake on another 5.0 it will work. Is the 83 carb a 2V or 4V? A 2V might be a little lean for your motor. Personally I wouldn't bother with it. Seems like a waste of time and effort when you know your going to swap in something more appropriate later. Just find a used Performer intake and Holley 600 and be done with it.

nvmd, i'm just going to save my money up...there is a local site here where they sell alot of parts i need used. and i don't know if it was 2V or 4V, i didn't ask....besides it had a bad carb, that's the main reason it wouldn't start. (there was too much wrong with this car)
