I'm wondering though. Would I be better off going for a large 2 bbl carb over a 4 bbl? Would the trade off in HP be too much to gain some drivability?
I did once have a Carter WCFB 4 bbl that worked really well on my 301 '57 Chevy SB.
It was simple, trouble free & got decent fuel millage.
I see the WCFB recommended in some articles. I would feel pretty comfortable working W/one of those.
