Well i have just recieved my first car.. a 66 stang. Here are pics she is beatiful. http://www.pix8.net/pro/album.php?u_id=1596KorAe

After the neccasary work is done, i would like to upgrade from a 2bbl carb to a 4bbl carb. This should increase some horsepower/give me experience with the engine. My dad restored 5 of these beatiful cars when he was my age and i would like to try to fix up this one as much as i can. will a 4bbl carb make it sound any diffrent (probaly louder i'd imagine) how much am i looking at to spend. Does it effect mpg? (not to worried about it) thanks guys and i think i will enoy this forum

 

Sorry I can't help, but hopefully someone can, my 66 GT came with the 4 bbl. I like it, but then again I have nothing to compare it with, but I'd imagine you would be able to tell the difference in the power.

EDIT: nice car dude, that looks exactly like my car, same color and everything, except I have black interior, and mine is the gt version, Very nice coupe though good find How much was it if I may ask?

 

Got it for 8500+500 dollars shipping. it cam from california. she isnt perfect but defintly a great first car. Gonna do alot of things to her

 

btw guys, any other good message boards focused towards classic stangs? thanks

 

You know, I don't know of any others but you could prob search for some on Google.

 

You will need to get a new intake manifold as well, the intake and carb will maybe give you 15-20 hp, gas milage will be worse if you are into the gas alot. When you start doing other mods (headers,cam, etc) the carb and intake will help out a ton. Don't go too big on the carb. keep it around 600-650 cfm at the very most. good luck

 

well I'd just go with a 600 holley..it will get BETTER gas mileage if you stay out of it..I agree headers would be a great help as would a mds 6al

 

mds 6al

sorry what is that? i suck with acrynoms

 

"You will need to get a new intake manifold as well"

well since u brought it up you can help me! which would u suggest? I did a little bit of research on eldebrocks website but alot of this stuff im very foreign to. Im still learning alot about these cars so sorry for the dumb questions.

 

None of your questions are dumb. I would go with the Road Demon 625 cfm vacum secondary carb and the Edelbrock performer intake, the rpm range is from idle -5500 rpm, it will work nicely with a mild small block.If you plan on doing a cam swap and adding headers I would go with the same carb and upgrade to the performer RPM intake, rpm range of 1500-6500 rpm, add a 2000-2500 torque convertor and a set of 3:73 gears and the car will really wake up.
