I would much rather go with a 4 barrel than a 2 barrel. The primaries are smaller on a quadrajet and you still have the big rear ones for added boost.

A Q-jet just seams like over ill for a 250.
While the primaries individually are smaller, I would expect the 2 primaries would still be bigger than the primary on a 2 bbl, leading to more throttling losses.
Not to mention this truck is for my 14yr old, who turns 15 in September. I don't want it to be too much. So I don't anticipate any performance mods. The 2bbl is more for economy. The smaller primary allows for less throttling loss and more effective part throttle fuel atomization (same reason the 2 small primaries on a Q-Jet help with efficiency compared to a square bore carb)
If it was for me I'd be putting a Cadillac engine in it
