I am thinking about restoring my old 272 y block, it´s completely appart any day know and prettysmuch everything seems to be checked and overhauled exept the rotating assembly, someone has been here not to long ago so I imagine the machineshop wont have that much to do other then go thru the engine block and al the tolerences and so on. But I am planing to hand it to the mahinceshop and they will give me a quota on what needs to be done.

So now to the question:

If I decide to go this route I was thinking about using the stock 272 .030 over block, stock crank, stock rods, stock pistons, stock heads, but put on a -b intake, ramhorns and a more modern carb like

or

or do you have any other carb suggestion

So down to the question. Will these update feature be overkill? or will it make it run more smooth and more user friendly....??

Any tips or thaughts are more than welcome. Whats a suitable carb for a stocker? Before I tore  it appart I had a Autolite 2100 292J C3TF-K and a pretty worn cam timing chain so it didn´t ran that good and the throttle responce was lame from 0-50% and pretty much no responce from 50-100% trottle ........

Or should I give this up and go for a Tim McMaster 324 stroker, 113 heads, a few notch over stock cam. -B or mummert intake, ram horns, -57up dist with msd box.....?????

I am situated in Sweden so the two tracks will end up on the same money pretty much.

Please give me all the feedback you can,

I really would like to know the feeling of the Tim McMaster stroker  between the framerails, but the other side of me wants to keep the stock engine, and at the moment I cant afford building both.........

The thaught has actually struck be to go all in and ask Tim to change the 113 heads for a set of alu mummert heads, and emty the Ford F100 -56 restoration account for now..........

Jesus I have a hard time deciding what path to choose.........
