I don''t see why anyone would run one on anything but a stock Mercury. If you want to run a bigger two barrel on a Ford using a Merc manifold, you are much better off using a small base 2GC, they flow more, are easier to find, kits and parts are much easier to find and pay for, and they're just an all around better carb. I have them on a couple of engines now and really like them. You should bore the manifold out to 1 7/16" if you want to use one, which is not difficult if you have the proper jig. It's amazing how well everything lines up if you mount them on the manifold backwards, The fuel line and linkage are located properly. The only problem is that the manual choke works backwards. However, if you don't mind using an automatic choke, that lines up properly with the Merc manifold as well.
