You own and love an original 69 383s, what’s next?

Like said the 383 has plenty of power. I know if I switch to power steering I need the change the column to do so, will require matching paint and so but still bolt in and no drilling.

The Classic air system seems mostly bolt in and reversible with a few changes. I have been searching for a pic of an A-body 383/400 under hood with the system installed. No luck this far!

Then, it doesn’t sound your too far away

-power steering conversion (was optional on 69 383 cars)

-classic air. Look at other Mopars with the conversion for hose routing ideas. You go through the heater blower plate. The new blower motors is in different place so you can use that as a pass through and place to mount expansion valve, etc. Don’t focus 100% on 383 A-bodies. B/E-bodies sneak the hoses through the alignment access plates/rubber behind the shock tower. I’ve seen some Hemi A-bodies with classic air. Check those out.

-if the seats bother you, look at modern seats as a core with customer seat covers with the same stying cues as rear or OE seats.

-if noise is issue, go back and add sound insulation. Under carpet, in doors, behind rear interior panels. Make a new rear access panel from special sound insulating plywood with sound insulating mat. That stuff is not seen or unbolts.
