I still think a 4bb would not be that bad if you jet it down to a 600 Plus them 2 bb carbs did not do much for heavy pulling I ran a 4V on a 307 for 3 years in a 1965 3/4 ton.It did way better then the 2 bb did

Plus a alum intake take so much heat away from the motor that cast iron holds so much heat.Why do you think GM uses Alum intakes now.Better flow.If you can see pics of one already down half the battle is won.Plus with my pics on the brackets 3/4 of the battle is done I'm a stock guy But i leave room for improvement
