How do 1barrels compare to 2 barrels on this setup, and how crucial is knowing my displacement? I believe it to be a 250 or smaller perhaps? It came out of a 68 camaro

The 650 would be a little big for a 230 or 250(you have one of the two). A 2 barrel will make a little difference, but you'll notice more of an increase going with a 4 barrel. To tell if yours is a 230 pull a spark plug and see if the piston is a flat top, to tell if it's a 250 the piston will have a dish. And you'll be able to see the dish as it will be a D shape. If yours is a 230 you can stroke it to a 250 with a 250 crank, rods, and pistons, OR just find a 250. But since you are on a budget and if you have a 230 I'd go v8 at that point.
But if you have a 250 they are Really good for making power out of. Naturally aspirated with a street build one made 320 hp and 275 torque.
