69 F100 engine upgrade help
Recently purchased a 69 F100 with a 302 engine. My buddy has an exhaust shop so the duel exhaust is no problem, my question is this, as I've never worked with carburetors before, which is the best combo (intake & carb) to bolt on this engine, Eldebrock or Holley, JEGS? So many out there, different sizes etc. Any and all info is greatly appreciated!!! Pics to follow

Best? That's for you to decide. Stick with vacuum secondaries on a 500-600 cfm 4-barrel on a dual plane aluminum intake. Build for torque because these rigs are heavy.... a cam would help get more grunt.
