84 351 **/ stock intake and carb options

[DeuceandaHalf]

so basically i havent picked up my FSB not till saturday.

Im trying to get some things for it before i pick it up...as it has no carb.

so

i know about the trans detent bar

but idk what aftermarket carbs will bolt right on to the intake.

see.

it came with a holley/ford 4180

kinda like a 4160

does anyone know if any old holley carb'll fit?

for one im gonna try a 750 DP but idk if itll fit.

but its free so well try.

and also

Four barrel for sale anyone?

most aftermarket carbs are identical and are a universal fit as long as the 2bbl goes on a 2bbl intake and the 4bbl on the 4bbl intake.

Welcome to the Zone /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> You won't need anything larger than a 4160 with a stock engine. It can **** down all the air that engine is capable of using. If you go over sized too much, the secondaries will not work properly.

Good luck,

thats what i was thinking but i was getting missinformed elsewhere and wanted to clarify.

also...idk if the 4v intake is spreadbore or straightbore as i havent picked up the bronc yet.

anyone know if theres a casting number difference?

and secondly. im really considering getting the performer intake, simply because its aluminum. i know its just slighty better if at all than stock.

but i might get a good deal on an rpm air gap.

Also,

complete 302andAOD combo for sale or trade.

Talking about the Bronco Zone not the Autozone. Though the Autozone is a good place to pick up touch up paint /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i have a slightly modified 351w (see profile for specs). I chose a holley 570 street avenger. In my opinion,

anything bigger is not worth it. i put a 650 street avenger on when i first got the b-co, everything was pretty

much stock then, except the exhaust, and it ran ok. engine would bog down and almost die whenever i put my foot in it though.

then i got the engine rebuilt and modified, they installed a 4180 or 4160, and it ran like crap. finally, after much

deliberation, i decided to go with a smaller holley 570. My rig runs like a champ now. i would suggest holley 570, or nothing

bigger than a 650 (tuned to perfection), for any carb'd b-co.
