1970 Other Ford Models V8
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a question about improving the torque on a 70 Ranchero...the engine is currently a 351C with the 4v heads and a 650 carb...this truck is owned by a good friend of mine and he tows a 2000lb bass boat and is looking to get a little more torque...he has stock exhaust manifolds and 2 1/2" exhaust with flowmasters...he is running a FMX automatic.
Now I told him if he wanted to increase lower end torque and increase fuel mileage he should install a 570 Holley street Avenger carb...due to the smaller primaries he woul see a crisper throttle and better fuel mixture at a lower rpm.
So, am I right about this theory or am I way out in left field on this one?
