I am at the point where I have rebuilt the 1966 289 engine in my 67 vert. It currently has a 2v Autolite 2100 rebuilt by Pony Carbs on a stock Ford 289 iron intake.
I bought a 4v iron intake matching the block numbers and head numbers and a matching numbers Autolite 4100. To have the carb rebuilt by Pony Carbs I am looking at $400 plus $100 for cleaning the intake, powedercoating and accessories. This will be about $500 total including shipping and taxes.
I have looked into getting as set of AFR 185s for the 289 to top off with a Weiand Stealth and a 525 or 625cfm Road Demon. The Road Demon and Stealth will be the same amount of money, $500 plus shipping (free through Summit).
My question is which way to go. I feel that the engine's potential will be limited with the stock parts (4100 and iron intake). The aluminum puts me closer to what I want but I know very little about the Demon carbs.
Recs and suggs needed.
Thanks!
