223 to 351w engine swap 63 Galaxie

Thanks - I was looking the car over today, and I guess I was mistaken about the wheels canting in at the tops, the car is just squatting down and with no fenders/inner fenders the tires just looked closer to the upper arms than I thought they should be. Ill wait and see how things look after the spindle change and see if the springs need replaced with ones closer to whats needed.........

On a different note - the Carb that is on my 351w block isnt much good, its not the original, not even sure what it came from - any reccomendations on a good 2bbl carb that i can look for? from what year/model that would link up easiest with the throttle/ kickdown and doesnt have a bunch of pollution stuff?? - also is the vaccum advance neccessary? The auto parts suppliers just laugh around here when I ask if they have any Carbs in stock. Im going to check a few salvage yards and get something that I can rebuild/kit.

Ok ill stop asking questions for today....[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_spin.gif[/img]
