The big 6-71 or 8-71 blowers are a little on the big side for a 300!
Yea I believe the carbs on the black one are Weber IDA's. I use to have a brand new set of triple side draft Weber DCOE's for a 300 a few years back. But I never got to run them.
Being a little bit of a sleeper is cool. But I still prefer the nasty sounding lumpy cam! This vid is my favorite.

I love the sound of it too. Which kind of bums me out. I wanted to run a similar cam. But I have to run a different cam profile then that with the supercharger. I guess I'll just have to live with the blower whine instead.

LUCKY SO'N'SO !!!!!!!!! you know what the cure is doncha ???????? buy a beater old ford 1/2 ton from the late 60's to late 70's and build one like that then you got the best of both worlds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish my flattie's or my 4.6 could sound like that , or be fortunate enough too build a supercharged anything now !!!!!!! { i'm too "tight" to spend the money !!!!

I'm so broke that supercharged engine will probably take me 5 years if not longer to get built.

i ain't broke , but in these times it's so hard to convince myself to let go of the cash , and in the case of the engines i have available , 3 flatheads , a y block , and a 4.6 , i seem to have chosen the most expensive starting points ford has in the case of prices . i still cant get that 68 you posted outta my head ...

I'm also considering building a 240 instead of the 300! That would be even more embarrassing for the poor sap with a V8. Not only did he get whooped by a inline 6 but it was a little 240!!
The 240 is basically the same engine as the 300 just different rotating assembly and the head has 68cc combustion chambers instead of the carbed 300's 76cc chambers. Because of the 240's shorter stroke it has a stronger crank. And with just some good rod bolts the 240 can easily handle 7,000 rpms!

55 f350
Did you have any clearance issues I plan to eventually put one in my 55 f350 that I am getting next week. As of right now it has the 223, figured I would step it up a little and put a 300 in it?

Here's a picture of my 54 when I started to tear it down. It had a 300 swapped into it when I bought it.
