ok, guys I got a 76 ford f250 hiboy and I'm thinking of getting a new carb for it. I just don't know what to go for the 4 or the 2 barrel carb. Has any one put a 4 barrel carb on a 360. I have a 2 barrel on it right now.

 

one other thing what would be the best carb to get for a 360, performance and fuel wise

 

my 76 has a 360 that a PO added a 4 bbl 390 intake to. it also has a motorcraft/autolite 4 bbl on it when its right it runs like a batt outa hell.

 

I put a 390 4v intake from a T-Bird on my 73 F100 360/4 spd. Even though it's cast iron, it was a cheap upgrade. It easily revs much better. Maybe it's just the carb. I found the carb on an 85 F250 460. It was a factory rebuilt Holley. I put it on and it runs great. That was another $20. If you have the money I would get an aluminum intake, and while that's off swap for a better cam. My truck lacks pulling up a grade with a load.

 

I would go 4bbl w/headers. The exhaust logs are one of the main things holding it back. I got more power and better mpg with the 4bbl. A 500cfm is all you'll need.

 

i agree with the cfm........cant rule on the headers couse i havnt used them but i see no point unless your heavily modding the engine. my carb is the 650 cfm 4100 and it hauls ***

 

Check out the FE forum. The first thing they'll tell you to do to any FE is to ditch the logs and get some headers. The fe had no problem getting air, just getting rid of it. Improved power and mpg. The 1 other main thing that 360 needs would be a straight up timing set. The factory set is retarded 4* on 73 and up 360s.
