[FWDLK] 4 bbl vs dual quads

[LARSPAINTR@xxxxxxx]

Looks like the several posts on this question answered it pretty good.
Frankly I would replace the single wcfb on my 56 with a new 4 barrel except
there are no aftermarket units that are that small.  Course the engine IS a
277 not a 383 or somesuch.
For further debate, note how fast the HP rose over a few years- my 'hot' 56
powerpac engine was, I think, rated at 200 hp, the non pp engine was like 187?
Well by I think 59 or 60 the same engine in 318 form with 2 barrel carb was
rated at 230 hp?  Thats 2 barrel....
And as a FYI my 62 stick 2 dr post Savoy with 230 hp 318 and 2 barrel carb, 3
speed converted to hurst floor shift, self installed duals with open pipes,
gave me a best time of 15.8 et and 85 in the 1/4.  Thats with stock rear axle
and bias ply tires and lots of smoke on takeoff.  Which equated to 0-60 in
about 7.7 seconds.  Usually I would go thru the traps winding out in 2nd.
I still have the timing slips for it (yep, 35 yrs ago....)  so remember, SAVE
EVERYTHING!    :o/>
IMHO a good aftermarket 4 barrel would be the answer for those not needing to
keep things stock-
Just musing-
