I would run a Edelbrock performer and a 570 Street Avenger carb. I put a 570 on my freinds 67 bronco, hes running a mild cam and port 4V windsor heads and it runs its ass off. Much better than the 600 straight out of the box. The 570 Holley street avengers are good stock to 300 hp too.

if he has the complete lincoln why not do a full efi convert? just a thought.

If possible I would go this route. The SEFI electronics are much, much better than CFI and would be great for a street car.

He is gutting the car yes, but I have no plans to keep any type of fuel injection. Yes my car is in pristine condition, not close to Eric's Vert or Jerry's Cougar, but in very very good condition. With as simple as the gauge cluster and the entertainment features are on this car, I would love the versatility of a carb, plus going with a stroker in the future it seems even more fitting. This is just temporary. The 5.0L will come out but will be used so the carb will play a big roll in the next vehicle it is in.

I totally understand. Thats why I went carb. The ease of tuning, you throw a set of heads, a bump stick, and some other little go fast goodies, the most youll have to spend is about $10 in jets, and half an hr with a vac gauge, timing light, and a screwdriver

I would get a Performer RPM intake and a 650 Holley HP. That will get you a long way down the road especially if you are going to change the heads and cam. Don't just do the heads as the cam is the brains of the whole engine.

Exactly why I'm doing this Clayton. I want to just get the motor performing like it should, and when I pull it out when the times comes for the 347 I can throw heads, cam and whatever goodies I happen to buy on it for whatever car it will go in. Most likely a rat rod. The overfueling issues right now are beyond ridiculous and the cost to tear down and rebuild the CFI isn't cost effective to a carb setup in my opinion. I know it'll end up with a carb anyway. If I go with EFI on the stroker then down the road I'll upgrade all of that, but for now I have no real need especially when the 5.0 out of the Lincoln is just a standard output. I was miss informed. IF and big IF, it were an H.O. I might reconsider, but swapping motors isn't big on my agenda since the power gain would only cause me to go through tires haha. I do that bad enough with my truck.

So far I've heard: Holly 570 Street Avenger, Edelbrock 600 and 650 Holley.
