Carb on a 4.6 2v

[joshmartin]

Ok long story short... i built a forged bottom end , ported heads , cams , full bolt ons 11.5:1 compression 2 valve... well once all put back in i had MAJOR wiring issues....
i got sick of chasing wires so i sell off fuel injected parts and my new victor jr and msd box are here with my holley carborator...

so basically what im asking is how many others have done this swap... and what was the easiest way to run fuel to the carb.... im almost to the point of using a fuel cell it seems easier then installin a sump with the welding etc....

thanks all the help u can think of is greatly appreciated... also im using a holley black inline pump

Good luck...about all the advise I can give. I think several have thought about this but too many issues but hopefully someone can part with some insight.

Not sure how much info you will find on this. Not too many have carbed a 4.6. You may be the one to get it running and let everyone know how it goes.

I've never seen a carbureted 2V, just a 4V.

 

[joshmartin]

It'd be great material to make a write-up on with pictures/info. I'd love to see an article over it with step-by-step and so on.

Good luck and keep us updated

If you have the money a fuel cell would be the easiest.

They make a tank insert for foxes, not sure if that can be made to fit you tank or not, if so.... Use that with an external elec pump. Run new lines and be done with it.

Good luck. Would like to see some pics and stuff. I bet it looks odd with a carb on a 2v...

DID you sell off your fuel injection stuff yet.. if not return the carb setup and get proper help with the wiring... I can help you out some if you can do some tests and have a multimeter..


trust me you will be better of fuel injected.

its to late sold fuel injected parts.... i took the car to ford and after a few hours or diagnostics they told me they didnt have no idea haha said that i could leave it for a few days but no promises and at 75.50 a hour i didnt want no 30 hour bill for nothing...

 

[joshmartin]

i wonder if i could run a line off fuel cell like rubber fuel line and connect to stock lines? and just use the stock lines?

UGGG... Not all ford techs are created equal.. you fell into the hands of somebody that could not handle this problem..

im interested at what its gonna be like carb... this is far from my daily driver so i like the idea of having somethin very different

I think Hot Rod magazine had an article a few months ago about a 2v carb motor "budget build"
