Carb Size

Hi everyone i have a 79 F150 with a 351M engine in it. What i would like to do is put a 4bbl carb on it. I would like to know what your guys' opinions are on what size holley i should use. The engine is bone stock besides a dual exhaust with headers and an open air cleaner. Thank You!

...especially if you're using one of the single-plane 351m/400 intakes, since each cylinder sees all 4 barrels, instead of just 2.
