Finally got around to ordering a new carb for the truck in my search for "carb nirvana". It needs a little more tuning and maybe a float adjustment but the Motorcraft 2150 is the ticket for a mild slant! This one is flows 351 cfm (1.21 venturis and is off a 351- 400 Ford. The 2150 is pretty much identical to the 2100 but the 2150 has a port for the vacuum advance.
I gave up a little bit of performance (I will be able to tune it back in) and my gas mileage damn near doubled!
I also picked up a complete mopar 8 3/4" rear with the open 3.91 gears I was looking for. With the overdrive, 2 bbl carb and 3.91's my gas mileage and performance should all mesh!
