Has anyone tried to run either of these carbs on an Aussie 250 with a 2V head/manifold? Results? Any other comments?
Not yet. I've talked to Frenchtown Flyer about using the 2150 used in the last 2-bbl 5.0's on one of my X-flows. makes it easy to bolt the factory kickdown cable for my AOD trans.
There should be few issues with it, as long as the vaccum coverner or whatever devices it has hanging off it don't hit the spring tower. The earlier 2100 may be a better fit. Shouldn't be any jetting or vaccum fitting issues, and they come out in cars with similar hp to the 2V 250.
Jet call sizes are Holley, and there is a rich power valve to help the carb run nice an lean when its crusing, rich when it has to be. The only matter of note is the bolt spacings of the carb and any vacuum leaks from the 2V intake, and space for an air cleaner which was only 1.3" inches tall on the Aussie XA's. Get that sorted, and the rest is plain sailing.

THe annular discharge booster feature is a plus for a street engine. I'm running a 1.08 Autolite 2100 on my 250, with a modified log. I'm going to a 1.21 next. The 2100s are less encumbered with unnecessary crap than the 2150s. No adapter. The only down side is that the jets are no longer available through the Ford dealer network. Holley jets do not interchange. I'm told that Pony Carb has jets available. The 1.08's tend to have a very lean idle circuit, requiring about three turns out to get a good transition.
Later years used an electric choke without the hot exhaust air pull off system. That's the one we prefer. The electric choke from 2150s can be swapped to earlier 2100s.
Holley power valves are a direct fit. Autolite PVs are somewhat wimpy and not marked or rated. The stamped ratings are frequently not very accurate.
These carbs are very sensitive to float level settings, in tuning. I can't figure out why.
Dennis just rebuilt a 1.21 for his hot 200 and it made a huge difference in performance over a 1.08. If I were in your shoes I'd start with a 1.21 size. We're on the lookout for the 1.33 size used in the early 60's on 390 and other big blocks.
Adios, David

I believe RickSmol is using a 2150 for his 250 2V setup in his Mustang.
