Off topic -Ford truck

I googled ' 1984 f150 300 6 '

sure looks like a carb to me  !!!!

crazy thing is there are websites where you can enter the VIN and get back a LOT of info,like engine it should have, rear end axle, tranny, etc.

FYI it might NOT have he original engine in it.....

I put a 304 V8 into my 258 I6 CJ-5 one year....

A turbocharged and intercooled 300 six was a real horse under the hood of a pickup. Did exactly that working with a gent that pulled horses and once the 460 let go the second time, we built this engine. I have a friend in the turbocharging business and he mapped the needs and that engine easily outpulled the 460 and got a lot better economy pulling a 3 horse slant trailer.

Now to be fair, the transmission was also changed from the B-W T-18 four speed to a Fuller RT-609 using an "Advance Adapter's" kit to fit the engine and transmission together. A little floor modification was needed for fitment but the center section in those cabs unbolted. Behind that was installed at a later time a "GearVendor's" overdriven unit, but I was not involved in that conversion. The truck was a 1984 F-350 four door with some "western" package installed and had custom interior that was nice for the time.

The transmission kept the engine right in the powerband it needed where I don't think the original four speed B-W unit would have as the gear spread would have been too wide. The engine had a four barrel Holley carburetor installed and worked well but it was a balanced package.
