I am officially sick of the damn Carter BBD on my '88 4.2L. Time for an upgrade.
After a bunch of reading, I have decided between the two:
1. Holley 390cfm 4160 + Offy Dual Port intake. (Carb: $267, Intake: $205, Air Cleaner: $18 from PAW for a total of: $490).
2. Weber 32/36 2bbl. ($350 from Quadratec)
I am wondering which would give me the best bang for the buck. I'm leaning towards the Weber since it would save me some cash plus it will be easier to install (I don't have a lot of time to work on stuff anymore).
Which will give me the best power and driveability? Which will work better at high altitude (7000ft+)? Is the Holley/Offy worth the extra $140?
This is not my daily driver, in fact it hasn't been driven in over a year. I just got it out of storage. I mostly want to get it running well enough to possibly sell. The motor is in great shape. I just did the Nutter bypass and it helped it run smoother. Ignition parts have been replaced and it has a new radiator in it. I have a 4-inch lift that I was going to put on it, but am wondering if it's worth my time since I might be selling it. But, if I don't sell it and decide to lift it, I want the best intake/fuel system possible so I don't lose too much power when I put 33's on it.
Anywhoo...your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
