    a 4bbl probably wont get you better milage unless that 2bbl isnt running right

      disagree.

      a 4 bbl will get better mileage if you stay out of the secondaries. The smaller primaries use less fuel.

        I know that but its really hard to stay out of the secondaries tho, sometimes you really have to punch it for no reason :evil:

            My car comes with an original Motorcraft 2150 2 barrel carb on 351W right now, but not comes with US version VV 7200 carb (feedback carb). I was thinking to upgrade to 4 barrel?

                    Also, make sure to get the lokar throttle cable and bracket, if you haven't already...

                      Does your car have a 4 speed automatic (AOD)?

                      If not, then a 4bbl is an easy upgrade

                        methinks lack of bracket is me problema (along w/ bad shift linkage), geometry is muy importante

                        TURBO, am very interested in that intake now.

                        Also, would it work w/ my 2bbl and how hard's the install?

                            Yes sir. I may not know a lot about cars but I knew what to look for.

                              YOU just need an adapter 4bbl to 2bbl. Think its a 2bbl to 4bbl adapter upside down
