I have a 351 in my fox. I went carb and love it. Starts right up even if its 10 degrees. A 750 is way to big. I use a 600 and it works perfectly. Mechanical fuel pumps work fine but I ended up switching to a holley electric pump because I was running a small shot of nitrous. A nice carter mechanical pump will work nicely with your setup and they are cheap
madmike1157, i dont see a vacuum seondary 650 carb. they all seem to be the double pumper versions.
i got most of the front stuff off the car today like the fan, shroud, pulleys, and balancer. not really sure how most people usually get the crank bolt out but i wish i did it when the belt was still on. this was my solution which worked well.
just need to drain the coolant take the pointer and smog bracket that attaches to the timing cover off and then all the timing cover bolts. hopefully it pops right off. i dont plan on taking the water pump off the timing cover so i wont have to replace that gasket. once i see if there is a cam ecentric on it or not i will order all my parts.
i am going to stick with the mechanical pump for now. if i dont like it i can always just use the block off plate and go the electric route
what kind of mods do you have and how much power are you making?
I haven't bought a carb yet but will be probably in the next week or two once i can make up my mind.

I have a XE262H comp cams camshaft, edelbrock estreet heads, summit stage 2 intake manifold, summit 600cfm carb, and msd distributor/ignition. Bottom end is stock internals. Has great street manners and runs 11.6 on a 100 shot at the track. 93 mustang, 3.73 gears, and a t5what kind of mods do you have and how much power are you making?

Why set the distributor before the intake? I realise you can probably work around it, but it just seems like it would make a simple job difficult.
I started the fuel tank. got it out and got the pump off. do i just replace the piece of hose that you see with one that reaches the bottom of the tank. do i need something on the end of it to make sure it stays at the bottom?
I second this. Installing the distributor after the intake is set seems like a hell of a lot less hassle than the other way.
All of the fuel systems that I see that are siphon tube designed, typically have a hard line w/ a sock plumbed to the bottom of the tank. I don't have any other recommendation for you to keep a rubber hose submerged. If you just use a tube/hose to suck the gas outta the tank, you will have to use a pre-filter before the pump to be safe, as well as one before the carb to keep and debris out that may either get sucked up that is in the tank that may cut/damage the diaphragm in the pump.
Again,......You do mean distributor right?wouldn't i still be using my stock fuel filter?
for the dizzy like i said before it is just difficult to get this one seated so i would rather do it while i can see what is going on. you didnt mention if you think i have it clocked right or not.
