Why do we install carbureted engines in our Fords?

Is all that dust on there fire extinguiser dust?
Are those the "bluprinted" top super secret ones? Aw cummon. I'll give the test the ultimate challenge! Wifee driver!
If it passes that test, well I guess ya know what that means.

I've read a lot of your posts including your most recent ones; your knowledge and abilities are impressive and top notch.

Are you thinking of being a mechanic when you grow up?

A stocker 1V 300 should move your truck around just fine. In my experience, a carb 300 is pretty close in peak power to the EFI version, but the EFI has far better off idle power and cold driveability. Iron log intake manifolds don't like cold starts. You're very welcome to come by. My shop is right off I-5, south of Wilsonville.

Thanks, Dustin. When I think I can find the time to come by, I'll contact you offlist. It's my first crew cab, my first 300 and my first NP435, so I'd like to gt a bead on what kind of performance I should expect to get out of this truck before I do any big mods - or go out and find a 390 to drop in her (I'm more familiar with FE's).

When I grow up I want be??????? Jeez that's not easy, well the growing up part. Thank's for the compliment bro.

Yeah, might have turned a few wrenches once or twice. I can even on good day, operate a "test light".
