4 Barrel Carb on a 1976 F150 w 360
I have a 1976 F150 360 with a 2 barrel 2100 carb. I have all of the manuals for the truck but it appears that a 1976 F150 360 never was available with a 4 barrel. Is this really the case? Will a 4 Barrel manifold from a 390 work on a 360 (same FE block) and are there any problems with installing a 4 barrel on a 360. I would appreciate any help and info that others may have. I would appreciate the good comments and any comments advising me to not do this.

Try a google search for your ?, i think you'll be wasting $$ without heads too.
I had a 360 that i wanted to put in place of a 351M and was told by an engine re-builder to keep the 351 and stroke it to 400 that id be happier and get better mpg, i did and couldn't be happier.
That was in 1986 and I'm currently restoring the body.

Plus i believe the primaries in a four barrel are smaller than in a two unless you like dumping the four.
Check out Google with ?s it'll take you to some of your ?s.
Goid luck and enjoy your 76, if you ever need a radiator i have a near new one for a 76' 360 ci.

Why do you want a 4 barrel? To say you have a 4 barrel, or because you're going to be doing other upgrades? If you just want one to say you have one, I'd forgo the money and time spent. You'll likely get little to no gains without other upgrades and likely worse fuel mileage.
