Head- everything done to it in the Ford Falcon Six Handbook

3 Autolite 1100 carbs

What cam do you got now stock or do you have any specs. if its a stock cam i would think you'll drown the bastard in fuel, cause if im not mistanking i think those autolites are equivlant to like a 125cfm each and 3 of those well thats like 375 cfm i dont think it would handle it to well. you will get crappy gas milage with them it i were you i would swap out to a holley 2300 or a weber carb and kit from cliffy. i did the 2300 swap on my other motor runs like a MOFO nice and gutsy. also if you swap out to that big of fuel system you may definitly want to consider a header swap and a nice scavaging exhaust system, to get the maximum performance out of that mod.

Headers are a must. The cam would be a 264. From Ford Six.

Thanks

If you are going to do all that and not change the cam, you'll be disappointed. Even a Cam with one 1100 is quite an improvement. With the 3 carbs, definitely get a Cam that will take advantage of it.

Howdy Curtis and All:

You'll be amazed at the performance difference of the head you've proposed, even without a cam. The Mods you've described will really wake up an engine. The 1100s may not be the best choice for a tri-power. In any case the progressive linkage will help to control the total cfm. I like the little glass-bowled, early Holley #1908s. It takes time and tuning to get a tri carb set-up to run right.

A performance cam will allow the rpm (and power) range to move up to a higher range. The more air you can pump- the more power you can make.

If you're limited to a head mod stage for now, then you've got the right stuff planned. When you get the time/money/need you can build the bottom end, adding a cam and all the other good stuff at that time.

Stage building is a good way to go, IF you can stick to a plan. You've got to plan for the final stage at every stage.

That's my two cents, for what it's worth.

Adios, David
