Welcome aboard, Caleb! (Again 
) You're in the right place! 
What do you mean by "stock carb" - how is it aspirated at the moment? What box is in it? What size tyres (diameter)?

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

The 38 works best if you rotate it with the fuel bowl facing the fire wall, they were better than the old Nikki carbs, performance wise.
Should be a good conversion, those were excellent motors
