Given how tight the stock carb & air filter setup is on the 3rd gen E-150 with the inline six, I was wondering if one of the long runner 4 bbl carb intakes would fit in the dog house with an aftermarket air filter.

Anyone have a photo or know if it fits?

Thanks.

...87-91 were injected, yes?

and you loose the high rpm runners. Maybe better on a clifford?


Thanks to the author of that mod!

 

Hi!
I'm new here. I have an '86 e250, 4.9 carb engine. I've been debating about putting on an Offy or Clifford. I thought they would fit, no problem. Wrong?

 

From what I've read (at fordsix.com mostly) the Clifford might be the better choice, because the carb flange uses an adapter that allows you to rotate the carb 90 degrees and keep the float bowl out of the fire wall/ heater core.

The Offy 'C' series doesn't have divided runners and would be more flexible when using carb adapters too.

A post I read said the Offy was a better casting. More room for mounting washers and nuts. Uniform flange thickness matches exh manifolds.
