Need advise... 351W with mastercraft 2 barrell carb that needs rebuilt. guy at autozone said it was a good one and to just rebuild it. should i rebuild or go with something different. Using bronco for weekend fun mostly road and some woods. Pros and Cons on each

Thanks

I think to run a 4 barrel you will need to change your intake also. If you are happy with the setup you have now, I would just rebuild the current one. I think you will get a little more power and response out of the 4 barrel, but I don't know how much more...

;D ;D ;D If you are going to rebuild I would stay with the stock one. The 4V is more power and a lot more fun to play with. And I dont think you will see any difference in gas milage unless you drive it like me hard on gas. But its my toy and I like to play. good luck and have fun with your choice. Bill %) ;D

thanks for the input, i might just save the money and rebuild the 2 barrell carb. i am looking to get a little more horsepower out of it with easy fixes. someone suggested adding headers and new k&n air filter.

any other suggestions on upgrades?

what headers should i get (that fit with minimal cursing putting them on)????

only upgrade to a 4 barrel if you are willing to upgrade your intake manifold also. Another great addition to the upgrade would be a new cam shaft. This would really wake the 351 up.
