292 merury engine

I believe that I have a 1955 mercury 292 car engine that I want to install in my 1959 F350, any suggestions for newer carb to replace the tea cup one?
Also I need a right side exhaust manifold, a radiator and several misc. parts

-Thanks, Chris

I think they make Y-block 4 barrel intakes that would allow you to run any standard bore 4 barrel carb, or even a fuel injection system. I know Y-Block T Birds were factory equipped with 4-barrels

Believe it or not, an Amazon basic carb worked great out of the box for my 57 292.

I am reconsidering using the original teapot carb. Isn't there someone on here that rebuilds them?

If you can get a rebuild kit, no huge deal to rebuild it yourself.
