Exclamation 1985 Bronco II Carb Swap Help

Hi, sorry if this has been asked but I cannot find answers anywhere, I have a 1985 Ford Bronco II and I need the stock motocraft carburetor replaced, I rebuilt it this summer and noticed there is a whole in the side of it, so I patched it with some JBWeld and called it good until I got enough money for a new Carb as it is not running at its "max". I am looking at a Holley 350 CFM Street Avenger Carburetor or any other reliable direct fit carburetor for the stock 2.8L V6 engine, would the Holley fit the stock engine? Is it reliable? What carbs are you guys using on your rigs? I would like to buy a reliable carb that you can put on there without any modifications, preferably new. Any help is appreciated, Thanks

I just swapped mine, 1983 - 351W Holley 4Bbl.
I bought a re-furb. on ebay, from Holley. It worked great, real easy, runs SO MUCH better.

Have you done the duraspark conversion? If not its well worth the time and money. Then you can run a NON feedback 2150 motorcraft carb. A 78 pinto carb is a good one.
