I actually love that carb.
They came from the factory on 1970 and 1971 429 Cobra Jets.
Thermoquads came from the factory on 1978 California Lincoln Mark Vs.

 

You are more than welcome.
I hope you post pictures of your truck.

 

me too
ran them on a 460 for quite awhile
did great off road. It required some tuning cause it was a 795cfm ebay carb on a little more than mild engine.

noticeably improved low end throttle response over a 830 holley and would damn near run on its side

 

Not my truck yet, and I hope it isn't for a long time. Wife's dad is an old biker, gearhead, hellraiser. I hope I have a long time to get to know him and help him work on his truck. Not looking good though, multiple motorcycle crashes and now multiple strokes have taken a heavy toll.

 

Hard comment to like. Wishing only the best for everyone.

 

 

A quick 1145 mile trip and its home.
Valve covers should be here tomorrow.

 

This is an all original 1966 Mercury with a 410 in it.



They used the same one on 65-67 FE engines.

I need one.

 

What is that its strapped to, a truck flat bed? Looks really nice. Motor looks good too!!

 

I have another pickup but it has a camper on it and I didn't want to take it off and drive the truck with the gas prices as high as they are so I bought a trailer hitch for my car and hauled the engine on my ATV trailer. The car is a bit more comfortable and is easier on gas than my truck is.

 

Heck yea! Thats almost like towing a trailer while sitting on your couch.

 

How much engine could that drivetrain handle? Would a 427 side-oiler be too much?

 

That's why I bought it.

I looked for a long time for the right one and bought it about 2 1/2 years ago.
Its been an awesome car and its a great road car.
I had a killer stereo installed after I bought it.
It gets very respectable gas mileage to boot.

 

The weakest point in these F-250's drivetrain is stronger than the strongest point in a cars drivetrain.

So I'd have to say yes.

 

My valve covers showed up today and I couldn't be more pleased.
They could pass for NOS, not even a slight scratch where the mounting bolts go.



They look brand new.
