351c-4v

That's a big carb and intake... My guess would be that if you are running other stuff stock, such as a torque converter, exhaust, and cam... that you are probably losing both power and drivability with that set up.

A Performer RPM... or even a Performer intake would help... a nice dual exhaust setup with a set of headers (if it is not already equipped with them)... and, of course, a good tune up. Much beyond that, you start getting into cam swaps, porting the heads (or just adding a set of aftermarket ones)...

I'm not sure how in depth you want to go there, but the key is matching everything to what you want from the car. If you aren't going to be doing holeshots and 7k revs, then don't waste the drivability of the car on putting parts in there that are designed for just that.

From what I can tell, the engine has been pulled before, so I am pretty sure that the engine has been modified before. Also, the intake manifold on it is built specifically for the 351 Cleveland with 4V heads. The Edelbrock Torker 351:

Torker 351 (3000-7000 RPM)
Designed for street 351 c.i.d. Ford V8s with 4V Cleveland or Boss 351 heads. Will not fit under hood of Ford Pantera with stock air cleaner. Will not fit 351 with 2V heads.
From Edelbrock.com

I probably will go at 7000 RPM, depends. Most of the vacuum hoses and electric wires are cut, so I know they pulled the engine. I will spend some money, I want to make it a quick street/strip car.

Thanks for the reply

It also has dual exhaust. Automatic tranny, ratchet shifter. Please feel free to ask me questions. I could really use the help.

Thanks for reading!
