I have 1965 289 2bbl and I am looking to replace it and put a 4 bbl with a new intake manifold. What other kind of work am I going to have to do to it besides the switch? any advice is well welcome

Depending on the carburator you purchase some already come tuned in the box so you may not have to adjust your carburator.
I suggest you read this http://www.mustangsteve.com/intake.html then follow up with your carb replacement as followed its a straight forward swap mostly just make sure you get a good seal on the intake manifold.

Ok thanks. Any reccomendations on carbs I should buy. I know I'm going to get one with an electric choke.

Members her seem to enjoy both carbs either eldelbrock or holly.I am running a 4 barrel Holly i havent tried eldelbrock but i would like too. Just make sure you have the right cfm. I believe you can get more out of a holly it has the ability to be tweaked and such for performance where as eldelbrock is more hassle free just bolt on and go.

Any advice on what cfm I should get? (I'm pretty new to this and I don't have a dad to help me with all this restoration)

If you have a fairly stock engine i would saysomething in the 500 cfm area, amore aggressiveengine could run a 600cfm.

Looking at the prices vs. my current income I think a 600 cfm should suit me nicely. Intake advice?

Depending on your price rangethe performer intake is alright for the money i am running this one

ofcourse if you want a little more theres the air gap, and torquer manifolds just depends on you wallet ofcourse
