Carb question, will it fit?

Its a recently rebuilt holley 650 cfm carb. Its a spread bore style carb 4 barrel. I have a 86 F250 with a 460. If this fits I am a happy guy.

Should fit without any problems as long as you have a 4v intake.

If you have a stock Ford 4V intake you might have a problem if the 650 has larger
secondaries than the primary side. The stock Ford intake is made for a 4180 Motorcraft
Holley in which the primaries and secondaries are the same size. See if you can find a
carb to manifold gasket for your stock application and see how it fits to the manifold
side of the 650. This might save you some trouble.

Spreadbore is not going to fit a square bore manifold like was said in the previous post. They do make adapters though.

The 4165/4175 spreadbore Holleys are 650cfm Quadrajet replacements IIRC. You can get a 3/4" thick or so adapter to fit on a square bore manifold, I've seen them as little as $13. Or you can find a GM guy somewhere who wants it and has a 4160/4180 you could use.
