Hi guys. Does anyone happen to have a spare pair of front door cards in buckskin?

Hi all. I'm thinking about swapping the 3.5 to a 3.9 or 4.6. I'm not wanting to go the fuel injection route because of the wiring implications, so I'm wondering, will the carbs fit back on? ( I know i'll have to up the jets) and can the distributor be fitted? Many thanks
