I have had more good experiencces with Holley carbs than with Edelbrock carbs. The only thing I have found that runs well with the E carb is a 350 chevy. That is because they are calibrated to run on a chevy, pretty much anything else and you need to change things. if its a daily driver the FoMoCo carbs are tought o beat. If its a race car,a Holley will spank the E carb any day.
its to bad you guys dont run Qjets..

There is no EGR on these old dinosaurs. They have the simple PCV system. As far as a reliable daily driver carburetor, but yet still has zip you can't go wrong with a Motorcraft 4100 series carburetor on top of a Weiand dual plane Stealth intake manifold.

The major difference with the Mexican block, is that it has more nickel content in the block, making it a stronger block.

lol see we went from intake manifolds to engine blocks but none the less thanks for posting on this subject, I got my 302 in my bronco II with a edelbrock rpm intake and have a stealth intake that ive spent a lot of the day cleaning so sounds like a swap I will have to do when I change the head gasket possibly heads and to Demon carb
