I have a 52 Ford Flathead V8 that runs great with a Holley 390 cfm 4-barrel carb. It has been bored out .060, Max 1 cam, HD valve springs, milled heads (.030 off), aluminum flywheel, original 3-speed HD floor tranny, MSD 6A and Blaster coil, MSD billet dist, and Sanderson headers into Smitty's. The truck is a 52 with a 9" Ford rear and all the Cragars and new oak bed, etc. I am going to install a blower on it and run the 4 barrel first then try 3x2's I am rebuilding. Got the blower from Magnuson (MP112C) and it is designed for a 4 barrel. I am building this on a slim budget and will let you know what my expenses are and take lots of pictures.
I have seen some high prices for a motor like this and I believe I can do this for a lot less. The intake manifold will be here on Wednesday (off Ebay) and the blower is here, along with the 3x2 rebuild kits and the manifold for them.
I'll send some pix this week of the base motor and the stuff.
