I have a 304 which came stock with the mc2100. Ive rebuilt it once and been inside it many times... Ive never seen it swapped on a 258 but id be more than happy to help ya. I got a garage real close to campus if you wanna work there

Not that I know of, and I talked to all of the Ford street rod guys here that I knew, and all they had were the bigger ones. I got mine off of eBay and had one of them rebuild it for me.

It's a pretty easy swap, while your in there I'd go ahead and get rid of the duracrap ignition, and replace it with an HEI.

I can also get you some caps for the tubes on the exhaust pipe & cat.

On my 83 there were air tubes running from the exhaust pipe (right below the manifold) and the cat up to the air cleaner. Yours being a 75 might not have these.

I got a motorcraft 2150 on my 6cyl and an HEI. Let me know when you've got all the parts i'll help to. Its a pretty easy swap. Look for the 2150, its alittle nice than the 2100.

2150 was made for high altitude... whereas the 2100 was normal... pretty much the same thing
