What was the correct 4bbl intake manifold and carburetor used in 1969 on a F250 camper special? I want stock parts and look including the manual choke.
The truck originally was a 360 with 2bbl Autolite 2100 with manual choke.
I'm looking for info on casting #'s and carb model etc.
Thank you!!

 

This didn't exist. NO "regular production" 360 ever came with a 4V carb. And no "regular production" Bumpside truck came with a 4V. Not even the 390s. The 1st year a pickup truck got a 390 4V was 1974. And 1973 Ford came out with 460 4V in the trucks.

 

So no matter what engine or truck build in 69 had a 4bbl until 74? humm, so even if my truck had came originally equip with a 390 it would have had the same 2100 2bbl and intake manifold I already have with the 360?

 

Find a 1965/71 passenger car with a FE engine and 4V manifold/carb. But, be aware this iron manifold weighs at least 75 lbs.

ALL 1965/73 F100/350's with FE engines came with an 2100 series 2V carb. 1974 F100/350 360/390 would have a 2100 series 2V or if a 390, a Holley 4V was optional.

1975/76 F100/350 360/390 would have a 2150 series 2V carb or if a 390, a Holley 4V was optional.

390's were not factory installed in 1968/76 F100/250 4WD's.

 

FE 360 and 390 had 2V. There were engines with 4V 289, 302, 351c. None in a truck as far as I am aware. There are 4v manifolds for FE motors. Just not original equipment in trucks of that year.

 

Correct. Ford wasn't worried about speed or high reving pickups. They were more in to durability and torque. Back then usually pickups were work horses, station wagons pulled trailers, and cars were the daily drivers.

 

The 4th digit of the VIN is the engine code:

D = 1965 F100/350 352 2V / H = 1968/76 F100/350 390 2V / M = 1974/76 F100/350 390 4V / Y = 1966/67 F100/350 352 2V / Y = 1968/76 F100/350 360 2V

 

If you're wanting to install a 4-bbl intake, an aftermarket aluminum one would be a better way to go --much lighter than a factory cast iron version and will flow better than an original iron intake.

 

2X. Also a Holley list #1850, model 4160, 4V carb. 1850 comes set up for cable choke.

 

But, if you want the original parts and looks, then your already there it sounds like.

 

Thanks everybody, I'm just going to stick with what I have already that was stock on the 360. I wasn't going for high performance, just rebuilding a tired 360. I scored a 390 crank and was going to turn the 360 to a 390 and just thought I grab the stock 4bbl stuff and well since that was not an option I will leave it at that. I thought 4bbl was an option as I've seen so many in the wrecking yard with them (years never verified) but I'm sure people likely had swapped them out over the years.
I know aftermarket would be the way to go, just want to keep my truck stock.

 

Read his original post where it said he wants things original.

 

Check the LIST # on the carb, and the venturi size on the side of the carburetor and bounce it off the shop manual, it will indicate the correct size carburetor for your application. After several decades the carburetor may have been swapped out several times, no telling what's on there now.

 

My 1974 F350 had a 390 in it with 4V intake and the carb was a Motorcraft 4300, so I imagine that would be the closest to what would have come, if they had offered it.

The intake is dang heavy, I used my engine hoist to take it off and set it back on.
