Does anyone know of any performance 1 BBL carb options?
I am not looking too spend alot of money, so I'd like to
keep the 1BBL manifold. I was thinking of the Ford 4.9L
carb, but if anyone has any other ideas that would be greatly
appreciated.

Performance from what respect?

1. airflow?
2. or mileage?

Air flow, not mileage. I'm boosting the car, but I want a little more power than what the stock 1bbl would give me.

If you are going to boost why worry about valve sizes & port and polish?

Even better flow. I want to make as much power as possible without turning boost past 10 lbs.

It's pretty easy and inexpensive to turn a 1bbl manifold into a 2bbl manifold. Even I can do it...

Is there a step by step out there or something? I'm new to all of this so it's alot to take on by myself (other than the help of you guys)

Sure read the articles posted in the article section and the Engine FAQ section. There is a lot of good information in the articles and posts on this site.

The highest-flowing 1bbl used on the slant-6 was the 1963-only Stromberg WA3. Good luck finding one.
Gonna be a toughy finding a high flow 1 barrel, 2 barrel would be good and easier to find adapt. Time to make friends with a welder.. :wink:

I'll try to find the instructions. No real special skills or tools needed. If I remember...a grinder, a drill, RTV, and a $15 Holley 2bbl adapter...can anyone tell me if I forgot anything?

I'm wondering about a Rochester Mono-Jet.....

Could be the ticket for high flow.

Have you run carburetors from that source?

Most of us have had very poor results from rebuild mills.
