    Ok I just got a 1971 ford maverick and I have some questions on it. I have the 250 Inline 6 and i was wondering what would be the best carb to get the most out of the engine because i dont plan on swapping to a v8. Any recommendations at all on general performance upgrades would be appreciated. If anyone could respond with links that would be cool too

    The Ford Six website is a good suggestion, but you should really reconsider a V-8 swap.
