I have a 1986 ford f150. It came with and has in it a 2bbl carb. I want to switch it to a 4bbl carb. What intake manifold should I go with or could I even find one from a used truck and just put it on there or would I have to switch a couple of things as well as the intake manifold. I found a stock 351w intake manifold for $30. Just what else what I have to do or need?
As far as types of intakes, Ford made cast iron ones for the 289/302 from mid 60's to late 60's. They made cast iron ones for the 351w on and off up through the mid 80's.
If you get a aluminum one, make sure to stick with a dual plane intake. This will be the ones with 4 holes where the carb mounts, or ones that have the divider in the middle were the carb bolts.
