I just bought a 78 f250 with a 460. The carb is a two barrel was this stock. What would be a good carb to replace it with on the stock motor.

 

Don't know if it was stock, but I have an Edelbrock #1411, 750 cfm that runs awesome. This is a little bigger than usual, but I run the truck hard towing so I want the extra power. Many guys run a 600cfm or 650 cfm. Great power and low end.

I like the edelbrock because of it's simplicity and performance. Bolted it on and started it up. Simple tuning, simple metering rod changes. If you want to run a high reving race truck, then Holly is the way to go.

You will also need a manifold if you change to 4bbl. I hear the Edelbrock manifolds are a great combo with the carb. Mine is the stock minifold.

Good luck.

 

H'mmmm....I'd stick with the 2bbl carb...maybe you can get mpg in the double digits....

Do you own stock in Conoco or Texaco?....

Seriously, the 600-650 cfm works well if the engine isn't sooped up; I have one in the back yard collecting rain water...

 

I run an Edelbrock 600 cfm 4 barrel on my stock 460 and have had no problems. When the engine warms up you can punch the accelerator and it is awesome. I recommend Edelbrock products because of their simplicity and durability.

 

I've never seen a 460 with a 2bbl carb. Some of the old 429's had 2bbl's but the 460's always had a 4bbl as far as I know. Should have had a 600cfm 4bbl stock.
