final thoughts before rebuild
Hi all,
So I am getting around to doing the motor in my 73 F-100 with a 360. I know common thought is to build it up to a 390, but I am satisfied with the 360 as I only use the truck on weekends for projects around the house and work once or twice a week.
#1 I hear 2 schools one says stick with my factory intake and Motorcraft 2100 the other says go to a 600 cfm 4bbl with vacuum secondary, whats your guys thoughts?
#2 outside of the intake the only real mods I was looking at were an RV cam, cloyes gear 9-3108 true roller timing set, and a set of Flowtech 12540flt headers; which I think is a mild enough build to still work nicely with the stock 2100?
Advice and opinions welcome

i prefer the autolite 2100 carbs, 1.21 or 1.23 would be ok. The motorcraft 2100 is too bad but the 2150 is a heap. I am kinda in the business of modifing ford carbs as in venturi size,power valve, jets, etc if you wanted to send a pm.
