383 Six pack- carb choices

[rustyacres]

Hi all! Had a hunt around but couldn’t specifically find what I was looking for.
I recently acquired a nice Edelbrock six pack intake manifold for my 383. I’m heading to the US soon and am likely to be throwing down some serious $$$$ on a new set of carbs to fit.

1. I am looking at Holley 4144 and 4360. My question is: there’s a there a difference between this and the P4349235 mopar performance Holley six pack carb?

​

2. Has anyone got experience with the Fitech fi Six pack system and would they reccomend it as an option for someone who just wants a daily driver for fun?

3. Has anyone used any other model/type carb that won’t cost me a house?


Thanks so much in advance

I would highly recommend EFI as a better option .
the 4144 can be usd as the center carb , the 4360 is a small 4 bbl & will not work
4365 is what you need

Thanks! All makes sense! Do you have any reccomendations for FI systems out there? I don’t want to start a debate on the pros and cons of FI but I feel like there are limited options for six pack EFI outside of the Fitech system… but I am happy to be corrected

I have not looked but FITech had Jensen at one show I was at with a 440 6 pak FI system , friggin cool !

These are my two choices narrowed down- to be honest last time I messed with a Holley sniper it was ‘ok’ but never felt trustworthy!

To be honest the 6 pak carbs are not that great , more visual eye candy , I swapped out an RPM intake & 950 carb on a 440 with a 6 pack & lost a lot of power & drivability , the singe 4 bbl was far better . $4k Au just for the carbs is crazy ! You still need fuel lines , linkage , throttle brackets etc .
I have been working with EFI systems since 1998 , I think Holleys was called Commander at that time , it was Junk , 3 computer failures in a couple of months . The newer systems seems to be better but I have seen complaints about some of the T body injection systems But the new Holley Sniper seems OK . I don't see the price for the FITech Throttle bodies . I lean towards EFI , it has been 37 years since a car left the factory with a carb .
I built a Multiport system for a customer & sourced everything separately from various suppliers , it was friggin awesome , I used a Victor 4 bbl intake drilled for injectors with rails supplied , Bosch 85 lb / hr injectors , Accufab 1200 CFM T body that was 1/2 as tall as a carb , a separate Walbro fuel pump to each rail feeding only 4 cylinders , set up a crank trigger & used a Computer that was Aircraft rated from SDS EFI . EFI i snot cheap but not that far out of line if the carbs are over 4K !

Get a hold of these guys, all they do is six packs, that’s where I bought my six pack for my 383. sixpackperformance.net

Buy this excellent book.

I got my sixpack setup through Mancine very happy with it.

I love comments like this. I’ve run numerous 4 barrel set ups on my 500ci roadrunner street car. Six pack is as fast as any 4150 carb I’ve ran including a 4150/1050. Only thing that really out runs it is a 4500 series carb on a big Indy style intake. By the way, it runs 10’s with the six pack in full street trim..

Does that fit under the hood like a six pack would?

it does on my car because it’s got a six pack hood but a normal hood it wouldn’t. Although I have raised port heads so I think most anything would be an issue with a flat hood.
