I am at the point of purchase for my 223 in my F-100.

Do I go with the Clifford intake/Weber Card/ Exhaust or keep it stock and go with a dual or triple carb Offenhauser?

I have a stock exhaust pulled into a big Magnaflow muffler and then it splits into to two out the back today. (Sounds cool)

Looking for a little mileage and power improvement before I move to the tranny or rear end.

Strong 223.

 

I think either would perform quite well. I think I would go with whatever you like the look of best. Weber carbs are In my mind pretty user friendly. But I have not seen the set up for a 223. Keep in mind the more carbs you add require at bit more in tuning skills to operate properly. What ever you do we sure could use some pics.

Jack..

 

Col. Flashman would have something to say about this. Send him a PM!

 

I was told that few people end up keeping all three of their triple carbs hooked up. They're just too tough to keep in tune. Offy is a great name to have on your engine, but I plan to go with Clifford (someday) for my 223. Maybe get an Offy valve cover.

 

Nah... you don't need an Offy valve cover (finding one with 8 bolts on a '60 is hard).

Just do this:
