    Ford 302 pinging

    should be $50-100 for a used intake manifold and the cost of a carb and a gasket set. heck if you want all new components and paid someone to do the work you wouldnt be over $1000 $2000 is about 4 to 5x of actual cost.

    Ford 302 pinging

    I would run a 600 CFM 4150 myself. Volvo put 715 CFM holleys on 350's While some argue its overkill, cant complain about the mid-range throttle response.

    Low RPM's and looking for higher top speed

    the 3500' elevation isnt helping. that is about a 10% reduction in power make sure your throttle is fully open. I agree, you need to go down in pitch or number of blades to get the engine RPM's up to where you are not lugging the motor to bring your top speed up and your engine RPM's up, you...
