What carburetor number should I buy for my 251 engine?


Recommended Posts

The main thing I would look for is to make sure you are purchasing one that has a throttle bore of 1&11/16" not 1& 9/16".  An E7T1, E7T2 or an ETT1 are all good choices for the 251or for that matter, any 25" long motor IMO. I am running an E7T1 in my IND-7(236) with no problems at all. The motor is smooth as silk with good acceleration and no "Flat spots".  I'm sure the very last model carbs installed on the 251 powdered WM-300's were probably the best, you just have to see if they are able to be installed on an earlier manifold. Hope this info helps.
