383 stroked LS6 block here, running in my 2002 TA Firehawk. I love it, and wouldnt change a thing.

I have no idea about installing one into a 1989 bird tho.

well i know that a 305 and a 350 are almost identical meaning that whatever I put on the 305 will fit the 350 so I didn't know if it would be the same as going from a 305 to a 383 as a 350 to a 383
