Carb options for a 302
1. I got my engine from a United Airlines Ford 73 Econoline Van. My dad tells me its an industrial engine. Does that make it special?
2. I want to get a 4 barrel carb and I want to leave open the possibility of putting a Paxton supercharger on it in later years. What are some good carbs?

If you want a carb you can use on both a N\A and a supercharged 302cid, you`ll need to buy a carb that is a bit bigger than you need right now. The Holley 4150 650cfm and Barry Grant Demon 650cfm with mechanical secondaries are suited for supercharging after a minor rebuild. Give PaxtonAuto a call and they`ll give some adivce.

The 302's that go into cars are a bit different than one in a truck, but maybe not a van. Something about the car engines have press fit piston pins and the trucks have something beefier. [sm=pcwhack.gif]

Also the Cam is different. The trucks cam was made for Torque and in the cars we want HP.
