Did I read that right? 800 CFM carb?
That sounds way too much for a 351.
You may want to re-think that.

This was the kit on Jegs that was recommended for the 351W

Wow. You would have to be turning nearly 10,000 RPM to suck 800 CFM through a 351.
I'm certainly not getting into your buisness but you may want to call JEGS to double check.
800 CFM just sounds like trouble to me.

Check this out. These guys know Fords and carburation

Being vacuum secondary, it will only pull what it needs. Besides factory carbs rarely flow the advertised cfm on a flow bench.

OK.
Sounds like you guys know what your doing.
I'll butt out now :xyxthumbs:
Damn nice Bronco. Thanks for sharing the "snowball" build!

I certainly appreciate your comments. :xyxthumbs: I'm no expert in this area so I can use all points of view to make sure I'm setting it up for success.

I called Jegs and changed my order to swap the 800 CFM carb for a 650 CFM carb.

[66stocker]

I think you will be happy with that set up.
So your going to get all this installed and your driving it to Charlotte next Sat , right?

Well, even as the Spring temps begin to roll in, the snow ball continues to move forward. Here's the progress report:

• Finished painting the block painting
  
• Installed new valve covers, intake, balancer, water pump, power steering pump, and HEI distributor
  
• Bolted on the new headers
  

I could use some help with my alternator install. I'm having some trouble remembering how the alternator brackets were positioned. Can someone post up a pic of how the three brackets are positioned? I know the adjusting bracket runs along the bottom and the small triangular bracket bolts onto the block at the top. I'm struggling with how the larger triangular bracket should be positioned. I think it connects into the water pump somewhere right cratchhe:.

[bucketobolts]

Sweet!!!

The triangle bracket with the 3 holes mounts to the water pump. The one with 4 holes mounts to the head. The pivot arm should bolt to the bottom hole at the water pump inlet...if I remember correctlycratchhe:

Does anyone have a pic?
