85 F-150 Project
Hey, I am trying to get some input on my most recent project. Ive picked up an 85 F150 351ci 2WD auto. Motor just rebuilt. My plan is to just go all out with this truck in hopes to make it as fast as it will possibly go (within reason) 
I'm gonna be putting a new carb holly 4 barrel in it with a one inch spacer but im not sure i could ever get enough out of the motor for the spacer to make a difference. i would like to change out the gears in the rear end i would like it to be quick but at the same time get reasonable.. (lol never) highway mileage. i was thinking just 373 but there is also the 410 option. I just have no clue...??... also if i was to put 410 gears or something crazy like that would i be breaking drive shafts?? Just hoping you geniuses could give me some ideas to push this truck to the limit. Any ideas would be greatly apprecieated thanks.!
