Hi,

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you plan to do this, you will likely need to replace the intake manifold, throttle linkage, kick down linkage, and fuel supply routing.

Is that what you need? If not, let me know. Also, let me know which engine this has. I suspect it's a 351 ci, but I know a 302 and 460 were offered as well. If it had a 4bbl, it wouldn't be the 300ci.

Take care and let me know.

Joe

The motor is a 460. I have already been able to attach the carburetor to the motor now I just need to be able to hook everything up to it.
