2 Barrell on a 200
Hi All,
Anyone had any luck putting a 2 barrell on a 200. I know that Cliffords sells an adapter. Would like to use readily avialable parts. Before I start engineering just want to make sure I am not reinventing the wheel. Any help would be appreciated.

Troy and Paul,
Thanks for the links Troy, That should take a couple of evening going thru the archives. Looks like a lot of good information there.
Paul, running the 200 in my 62 Econoline 3 window pickup. The engine was originially in a 70 Maverick. I have had this pu for 26 years and been thru two 170's prior to this engine. Would never go back to the 170.

Cool pickup. You'll have to post some photos sometime. I recall the 170 was a 4 main bearing engine. The 200/250 though was upgraded from 4 to 7 main bearings at one point, I think in the 60s. I believe Ford once even had a 144 cid inline six that formed the basis for the 170. If so, then I suspect the 200/250 is a different block as I couldn't see 250 off a 144 block. Anyway, happy truckin!

Paul and BillyB,
Paul you are correct the 144, 170, 200 had the same design. However, they were different bore, stroke etc. Right agian on the mains (except for a few early 200's that had 4 mains). Now comes the problem with mounting a 2 barrell. The intregal heads and the spacer under the carb.
Billyb you will have to explain the 2 stage 2 barrell. Not fimiliar with it. Can we overcome the spacer problem and still get it under the dog house?
I am aware of Aussie heads, cliffords, triple setups etc. I just want to put a 2 barrell on a intregal manifold without a lot of hassle. Truely don't even know if it will improve performance that much? My guess is that it will.

2 Barrell on a 200
as you know, on a four barrel you have primaries and secondaries. a two stage two barrel is the same.
they were available on old mercury capri's, some pinto/ mustang II, that i have seen. they were weber or ford(autolite?). Im not sure you can get one for your application, but the ones i drove were quite responsive.
the advantage is less fuel when cruising, but more fuel if you kick it.
