Re: Four barrel
Yep i have ran a Holley four barrell on our 1949 Ford f100 for a few years , works like a champ! Also we have dynoed the engine and the truck more than once as we raced it on the salt in 2006 and the last two years at The Ohio ECTA speed track etc.
We run a 350 gear and a five speed , racing in forth gear however i drove the truck to louisville and back last year to a car show. Runs great in 5th gear at highway speeds.
The 390 Holley works very good right out of the box however the torque and hp drop off at higher rpm. For racing we use a bigger unit a 600 holley.
We have changed jets a few times but nothing drastic. Dyno sheet on present engine is 181 hp at 4300 rpm with the 600 holley.........
