my 300 build. please help

O k here goes. Iam planning to rebuild my 86 f150 engine. I have always had the desire to rebuild with it disguised as stock. And since i am missing all my smog gear, this is what i have come up with. 264 degree camshaft, dui distributor(to make up for the missing smog gear), 30 degree back cut on the valves, chevy roller rockers, a heavy duty exhaust manifold. I want to go to a bigger carb but not sure which one yet. Would be open to a bigger one barrel or the webber 32/36 2 barrel.

What do y'all think?

Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have a nice list going so far.
There's definitely a large list of carbs to choose from. If it were me though, I would go with something bigger than a 1 barrel to take advantage of the other components you're throwing on it.
The common option is an Offenhauser 4bbl intake with a larger 2bbl or 4bbl carb. There's a large list of which ones work well, just do a few searches on the site.

more questions

Can the offenhauser manifold be used with the heavy duty exhaust manifold?

Is there another intake that can be used with it?

To keep it looking stock(ish) I think I would try a Rochester 2GC. It is small and could be adapted to the 1V manifold. Open up the manifold inlet to take advantage of the cfms.

The Offenhauser manifold should work just fine with it. It's designed to be used with the stock intake.

Offenhauser and Clifford are the only two I know of that are still in production, and both of them are for a 4bbl setup (or a 2bbl with an adapter). There are a slew of others that have been made over the years, and they're randomly on ebay.

Well, technically...

Whereas a 4v will bolt right on to an Offenhauser.

That's right, I forgot about that (as having never owned a Clifford myself). You have to get an adapter either way for the Clifford.
