To any who went from 2v to 4v

I would go ahead and buy it..thats a good price..put it on the car and enjoy..then when you are ready..you can rebuild the engine...or it might be a good time to just go ahead and do your rebuild..either way..the price is good..buy it!

Do you know which holley 4V it is? If you can post the type or list number, then it will be easier.

I went from 2v to 4v. Loving more horsepower, it was worth it. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

It is the 600 cfm performer series.

I agree with these guys about making the purchase now to score on the deal. I assume that the carb is an 1850 or some cousin of that? Is it vacuum or mechanical secondaries? Keep in mind too that you can get a very good Edelbrock carb for $195 every day of the week. You can't get quite as much power out of it, but it will be very reliable, with consistant performance. Cooincidentally, i have both carbs, and will be installing the Edelbrock until I can get new heads, cam, etc. Good luck!

What kind of intake comes with it? I have a an old original iron intake for my 4v, but you should upgrade to something like an aluminum Weiand or Edelbrock intake. My friend has a Weiand stealth intake on his '68 and he loves it.

I bought a 600 Holley, vacuum secondaries,electric choke at a parts store right in my town. I paid 219.00. I figure any v8 Mustang should have one. I had to do very little adjustments to the Holley, slight adjustment on floats and idle and fast idle. Works great, I have a Performer manifold too.

Put a Holley 600, vacuum secondaries, electric choke and an Edelbrock Performer intake on mine......Love it. I recommend the purchase. Add headers and dual exhaust next, it will free up the breathing a bit and make you smile when you hear it. This should allow you more performance, even on a tired 289. Rebuild or upgrade can come later and the parts can be re-used....

When I can't see, I must believe....

The holley I bought when I converted mine cost over 200 bones that sounds like a good deal cause you can buy a rebuild kit for about $15-$20.
