Lots of 305's came with aluminum intakes and Qjets. I don't see any reason a qjet wouldn't work fine on a 283. My swap was with a used Holley so that was doomed from the start lol. I'd say try one of those 600's and see how it runs. I'm forgetting my Eddy carb numbers now, one of them is jetted lean for emissions and I always said it was jetted for a 305 or 5.0. I thought that was the 1405. If that's not the one you can always jet it leaner if it needs it.
