Okay, if it's the truck in the sig, it says it's efi (electronic fuel injection). You'll know its a 4bbl by the massive air cleaner assembly and the holley carb sittin on the intake. If it's 2bbl its a Motorcraft (made by autolite). The ID tags are on the top of the carb. To get at them you will have to remove the air cleaner.

As far as I know the 88 351W were fuel injected.
Do you have a long tube or tubes that runs from the front of the intake over to a somewhat square box, on the drivers side, behind the battery, under the hood?
Or do you have a round air breather setting right on top of the motor?

ok just for you knowledge EFI mean Electronic fuel injection , which therefore means NO CARB, I looked at your picks and yes sure enough your truck is fuel injected , which again points back to the conclusion that your truck has NO CARB. If your truck did have a carb (Which it doesn't) there would not be that huge upper intake sticking above the pass. side fender. There was be a carb (once again, yours doesn't have a carb) in the center of a completely different looking mainfold. And just once more just so you know it is not a carbureted Motor (NO CARB), it is fuel injected (NO CARB). The EFI in your signature was my first clue but then after seeing your picture I was convinced.

Are you ok , I think that you are lacking a brain. Anyone who puts EFI in their signature as to be bragging about it and then asks if their truck has a 2 barrel or a 4 barrel tends to be more than a donkey , or should I say OF less than a donkey.

91 is right about your truck being EFI modru, unless you want to consider your throttle body assembly (the thing with the big rubber hoses going to) a carburator. in that case there is 2 inlets making it a 2 barrel in essence. But then again........What do i know.
Have fun with this one.

well lets review the facts, i was told earlier on that efi didn't have a carb, well then damn thats all ineeded to know, i got it the first time. then you come in and start repeating it like im a retarded moron who can't understand it and you expect me to think of you in anyway other than thinking your a know it all jackarse. how the hell am i supposed to react?
edit: you know what im ending this right now, this is ridiculous. if you wish to keep up a childish flamewar then go to your nearest mirror and have fun. i asked a simple harmless question, that was answered, i asked another. im done, i apologize for insulting you but i only returned the favor. get it? got it? good.

No problem but I was only trying to help you , sometimes in my work people become confused and I have dealt with people like you a lot and I wanted to make sure you weren't confused. Just trying to help , and I am sorry if I offended you I was just trying to keep it simpler and explain things on a lower level as I sometimes have to.

people like me? i don't get confused easily. im not majoring in computer science because im stupid. im sure that if i was explaining to you something about computers i would have to go to a lower level and try to make it plain english, but i either have a carb or don't and i don't. see wasn't that simple. 
no one should ever have to go lower level with me, if i don't quite understand something ill speak up, im not a moron when it comes to engines. i just happened to take an aerospace class for fun and not an automotive one. 
plan on taking an automotive class later if i can fit it in.
