Motorcraft 2150 Carburetor Upgrade For Dodge 318 With Carter Bbd Or Holley 2280 on 2040-parts.com

By Popular Demand, I am now offering the complete Motorcraft 2150 swap for your beloved 318.  I am offering the first 5 of these conversions at a large discount because I need your installed pictures!!!  I have built and sold over 11,000 Motorcraft conversions for the AMC/Jeep family, replacing the problematic Carter BBD.  I have another popular Motorcraft 2150 swap for the Chevy 305/350 family.  I have personally built and sold over 50 Motorcraft swaps for the 318/360 family. 

This auction includes a freshly built and customized Motorcraft 2150, 350 CFM carburetor.  Properly set up for your specific application, jetted to your elevation and modded for your driving style and intended use.  The one you will receive with a "Buy It Now" bid will be freshly built and ready to roll. It will be powder blasted, hot tanked, acid washed and will look great. I will build and modify this carburetor for YOU.  The new carburetor will have the proper (and marked) port for your distributor advance and the proper (and marked) port for your PCV valve.  Most will have a crank case breather port as well (not needed but nice if you want to use it) There will also be a fuel bowl vent tube for your bowl vent to the charcoal canister.  This carb will work with or without your EGR.  The choice is yours.  Need something else on the carb?  Let me know and I'll work it into your build for you.

What am I offering? 

I am offering the ultimate budget solution to end all headaches of the crappy-ass Carter BBD, 2bbl carb, piece of junk, garbage carbs.  This Motorcraft swap will work on all carbureted 318’s.  Even if you have the 360, or a 4bbl intake, I can set one up special for you.  This upgrade will improve idle, response, starting, cold starting, acceleration, power and MPG.  This carb will not stutter and cut out like the Carters are known for.  If you can get fuel to it, it will run at almost any angle.  I can build you a carb best for wheelin' or for use as a daily driver, OR both.  If you want to retain the factory air cleaner, no worries, I cover how to adapt your factory air cleaner to the Motorcraft carburetor as well.

I have recently surpassed the 11,000 mark on kits sold.  It is easy enough for an average person to install with average tools and average knowledge.  I will include a TON of information on the Motorcraft 2150 series carburetor covering everything from installation to fine tuning.

I will assist you in any way that I can for however long it takes you to get it done.  This is an afternoon project for the average Joe, AND...  If you are in the area of Colorado Springs, CO, I will do one better.  I will install the carb for you.  Details to be worked out on a case by case basis....  Usually runs around $50-$100 and takes a couple of hours.

What is included in the kit?

INCLUDED--Carburetor...  Fresh, custom and ready.  Carb will be jetted correctly for your elevation and will have the proper power valve configuration for your ride.  It WILL be ready to bolt on.  (This carb runs 350 CFM , a nice increase to your power band over the stock setup)

INCLUDED--Proper base plate adapter.  As you may know, this install requires a difficult to find (or make) adapter.  They are out there, but be careful, they are not all the same.  I have given up completely on using the Mr. Gasket and Trans-Dapt adapters.  They are pot cast pieces of junk and are usually warped and crack easily.  I have designed my own adapter.  It is C&C milled locally and is precision matched to the mounting hardware and the intake/carb.  You will not find a better adapter on the market.

INCLUDED--Proper fitting base gaskets for the install.

INCLUDED--All hardware required to mount the new carb and adapter to your intake.

INCLUDED--INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS

INCLUDED--Support.  Nothing more to say here.  I will support you in any way that I can. I learned my lessons the hard way and with that being said, I don't see any reason why anyone else should have to.  I will make this as easy as possible for both of us.  I will provide email support and phone support if needed.  Heck, bring it to me and I will show you 1st hand. 

INCLUDED--Throttle return spring bracket.  Pre-built and ready to install....  I just started including this due to popular request from buyers.  (See, I listen to your feedback emails)

OPTIONAL--New, in the box, SPECTRE 6” chrome air cleaner kit and filter.  I will include one for an additional $25.  Your factory air cleaner will NOT fit the new carb without modification.  I also include instructions on how to modify the factory air cleaner setup to fit if you should so desire to keep it. There will be no fitment problems w/ the intake, bowl vent or the brake booster with the air cleaner I use. I will also include an additional FRAM crank case filter when you purchase the air cleaner.  You will receive 2 filters for $25.  I also have the Short Ram intakes which are normally $318 from K&N.  I have mine made by SPECTRE and they are $100.  They come with a remote, washable filter, carb hat, hardware, etc.  I can send pics upon request….

OPTIONAL--3 Choke options. (Well, actually 4) Again, this is a personal preference to most people.  The Motorcraft 2100 carburetor and the Carter BBD share a VERY similar choke housing.  To retain your Carter's original electric choke, you only need to remove it from the Carter, reverse the internal temperature coil, and screw it into the Motorcraft carb.  I will include all mounting hardware to do so.  Every setup is a little different, but making this swap requires no real skill. If you need an electric choke, I will include one for $22.  Just add it to the total cost or to the shipping and slip me a note.  It will be there, and it will be pre-installed.  If you prefer a manual choke conversion, add $15 to the total amount and I will include a new manual choke kit with cable and I will modify the carburetor for you.  You will just need to pick the one you are comfortable with.  As you will see in the pictures above, I configured the Motorcraft carb to work with the stock thermal choke setup, internal to the intake manifold.  I can send you everything you need for this conversion for $25.

What I don't provide:

--Common sense.  'nuf said.  I will help you in any way that I can.  If you decide to pull out the blow torch and duct-tape after a 12 pack, I can't and won't hold myself responsible.  (But I'll still help you fix it when you sober up a bit...) 

Every install is different to some degree.  I provide the most basic, simple, complete kit as I can.  All installs are slightly different.  ESPECIALLY once someone (not you of course) has decided that they were smarter than all of the million dollar/year techs that designed the vacuum/emissions systems in the 1st place and capped "stuff" off and randomly removed components.  I will teach you what needs to be there and what doesn't.  I will explain the difference between ported vac and manifold vac and help you determine where your vacuum and vapor canister lines need to go.  Please remember that the 2100/2150 is a balls-out manual carb.  No computer required for operation. 

Just a side note, FORD produced this GREAT carb for over 25 years with very little change.  They put it on EVERYTHING, big or small, fast or slow.  AMC adopted a larger version of the 2100/2150 for their V-8's....  You can't beat it.

Any questions, please ask. 

Common questions I receive:

Q:  I have a 4bbl intake manifold? A: All you have to do is let me know if it's a square bore or a spread bore intake.  I will include the proepr adapter and gaskets to you.  no additional charge.

NOTE 1:  I will still build custom setups if you want a strictly off road application or if you have special needs.  If you are watching this item, and it sells and I do not have another one listed, send me an email and I will notify you when I list more.  Sometimes, I have 3 or 4 ready at a time, sometimes I have 1.  SOMETIMES even when I have 3, I sell them all in a 6 hour period.  I will never stop building these kits.

 NOTE 2:  This kit is a HUGE improvement over the stock Carter setup. This is also a HUGE improvement over the Holley conversion.   I have also replaced a few aftermarket fuel injection setups for frustrated owners.   The ease of tuning this carb is worth the swap alone.  I get asked a lot of emission testing/legality questions on this conversion, and here is my answer:  I live in a very strict emissions tested region.  I have passed several personal Vehicles through the E-test and passed both a visual inspection and the blow test.  We are tested at idle and at 3000 RPM.  The Motorcraft passed where the carter failed.  I don't know emission laws for everyone, but I can say that I have sold conversion kits to almost every region in this country including over 100 kits to California residents, and haven't heard of anyone being forced to remove their setup.  A side note to that would be that I don't guarantee this to be a one stop shop, cure-all, fix everything wrong with your rig purchase.  It will be a great improvement, but if you have other electrical or mechanical problems, you need to fix those too.
