Intake and Carburetor
I have a 1972 f100 with a 390 in it. The motor still has original intake and carburetor. I was wondering if I would have any problems changing the carb out for a Edelbrock 1405 4 barrel and an Edelbrock 2105 intake?

In this make certain you keep the narrow rocker shaft bolt at the oil hole is the only thing that can bite you. I would recommend a holley over the edelbrock. Just my
