I'm looking to upgrade my 272-2V in a Tudor to a 4V. I want
FoMoCo parts to bolt on, if possible, without modifications.
I'm starting with ECH-9431-A exhaust manifolds for duals to help expel. Now, to help the intake side...
I have read (Y-Block Guy, Mummert) that Ford made a couple different heads in '55 (ECG-A or ECG-C?) that were purportedly for a 272-4V intake. True? If so:
Which are correct or best for a '55 272? What intake mates to these? (ECZ-9425-A or B?)
Is there also a small-ported aftermarket 4V intake that a modern Holley/Edelbrock will bolt on? Carb adapter is OK on either, if I have to.
Sources for these good original FoMoCo or aftermarket parts?
Is an MSD distributor available for this 4V setup?
I guess an Edelbrock FM255 is overkill?
If I eventually rebuild the 272, what cam, preferably Isky, would be best (slight lope) for an otherwise stock engine with these (4V) bolt-on upgrades?
Thanks,
Paul
