Also anyone know a good spot to look for a 400 4 barrel intake manifold. My Girlfriend father used to build highboys and told me I could have a pick over the remaining parts. And he has like five or six four barrel carbs so I just need an intake now.

A select few did, yes, however a 90's model one is easier to locate

This is the cheapest I've found. My original intent was to get a edelbrock one.

Weiand is a good brand also, and a dual plane like that is what you want.

Does the 90's model have to be a powerstroke one? Also have you thought about doing the conversion on your rear brakes?

Ok so maybe I'll just buy that one soon. Seems like a good deal.

No it just has to be an F-350. And yes I do plan to Rear disk swap. It looks pretty simple from my research, that's why I removed my E-brake the other day.

Lol I remember now. You can't have an E-brake with disc brakes? My old 01 SCrew did.

Not on this particular setup since it uses front calipers from a Chevy.
