Little back story 6 years ago I rolled a 96 single cab short bed F150, 4 years ago I bought a running driving 92 single cab long bed with 4" lift minus the bed and rear bumper. And that's basically as far as it got until a couple weeks back my wife made the comment she wanted to start racing.
So I started tear down on the 92 last weekend, only thing left now is to pull the rear axle and lift. Plan to start some minor paint on it then instal the lift on the 96 and start the process of putting it back together.
Drive train will be the 300 out of the 96 carb swap and rockers from a chevy 292 powered by a old Crane cams ignition box I have laying around. Plan to put a C6 with a shift kit and a 208, axles will be stock 8.8/TTB 44 until i locate a solid 44 for a decent price. Truck will be on 35" super swampers.
Here are some pics of the 2 trucks, and the rest down so far on the 92.
If you're dead set on using a carb setup, get a triple sidedraft Weber setup. That Offy manifold has terrible fuel distribution, running the center cylinders too rich just to get the outer cylinders to an acceptable A/R ratio.
Hate to tell you this but the stock fuel injection is day and night better than a single carb setup for fuel distribution.
Anyway, it's your ride, do what you know with carbs if you're not good with EFI.

Got nothing to do with not being good with EFI, but I want as little of wires as possible. Hence the carb and C6 going back in it.
