You could do 350hp but youd have to be running high-ish compression and or using good heads with good efficient (i.e. well matched) parts in as many places as possible.

Maybe you have a clevor or a boss motor (which is a mix of windsor and cleveland motors). Hard to say what youre starting with without more certainty or pics.   Either way as long as its NOT a BOSS or a Clevor, then going back to carb should be simple - just fuel pump, fuel line, carb and maybe intake manifold.

I'd avoid using headers & manifold in combination as the flow rate differences might cause some balance and vibration problems if it is pronounced enough. Might also cause mix problems. Try to keep the engine running as symetrically as possible. Maybe some of the hot-rod headers would work for you, either that or there are a tonne of ...

Essentially a one owner car I bought off E-bay, flew to Vegas and brought home to St. Paul. It does not like the cold with the variable vent carburetor and I know zilch about them except if the work they work great. If not, good luck.  It has surprising pick-up for the stated 115HP and 230ft lbs torque in the manual. It has a 3 speed ...

Thanks. the Variable Carb is cold blooded bugger too. I'll let you know what I come up with when I talk to my real Ford guy .He's a master mechanic for all the mustangs as his dad the knows the older ford begining with the flat-head.
