eDL beat me to it. UPS used those engines for years, and they hauled the freight just fine.  I used to get there take outs and build them up for one of my race cars. Also, Clifford Research still offers 4 bbl manifolds for fords (and many others).

These old motors are super reliable and produce plenty of power, and more importantly... torque.
