'72 Ranchero - 302 2V: Intake & Carb Questions
As noted I have the 302 2V in my truck. Dual exh. 3-spd manual 3,06 Toploader.
I don't want to pull the engine just yet to install a 351.
Can anyone with some experience with the 302 let me know what would be a good intake mfd and 4bbl carb setup that would fit my engine?
I'd like to retain and use the original Ford air filter housing over the new 4bbl.
Thanks!

Any stock or aftermarket dual plane manifold. Watch for temp sender thread issues even in iron stockers. Watch the front corners, especially in aluminum intakes.
Performance Intake Manifolds
This is Ford specific, showing more torque where you need it from the dual plane all the way up the rpm range, with the single plane providing only a small HP gain at peak revs, which you would be advised to avoid with an aged stocker anyway.

For a carb, a good Ford 4100 or even a Holley 390 CFM will work, stay under 600 cfm.

I have none but:

Lots of hits if you search it via google. 4300 more complicated than 4100, that's the short version.

Thanks. I found this mfd on eBay. Can I bolt the aforementioned carb on it. Seller told me it was stored for a number of years but it looks new to me. I'm not sure what the difference is on an old 302 intake like I have on '72 and the newer intakes.
