my 300 build. please help
O k here goes. Iam planning to rebuild my 86 f150 engine. I have always had the desire to rebuild with it disguised as stock. And since i am missing all my smog gear, this is what i have come up with. 264 degree camshaft, dui distributor(to make up for the missing smog gear), 30 degree back cut on the valves, chevy roller rockers, a heavy duty exhaust manifold. I want to go to a bigger carb but not sure which one yet. Would be open to a bigger one barrel or the webber 32/36 2 barrel.
What do y'all think?
Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have a nice list going so far.
There's definitely a large list of carbs to choose from. If it were me though, I would go with something bigger than a 1 barrel to take advantage of the other components you're throwing on it.
The common option is an Offenhauser 4bbl intake with a larger 2bbl or 4bbl carb. There's a large list of which ones work well, just do a few searches on the site.

The Offenhauser manifold should work just fine with it. It's designed to be used with the stock intake.
Offenhauser and Clifford are the only two I know of that are still in production, and both of them are for a 4bbl setup (or a 2bbl with an adapter). There are a slew of others that have been made over the years, and they're randomly on ebay.

That's right, I forgot about that (as having never owned a Clifford myself). You have to get an adapter either way for the Clifford.
