Exactly,
The smaller sized 'plenum' on the 'Streetmaster 318' is designed for that purpose,
a smaller CFM-rated Carburetor.
The early Carter AFB's {Advertised @ 500 CFMs'} off the 273 Commando have.
* Primary ....... 1 7/16" {1.437"}
* Secondary ... 1 9/16" {1.562"}
A too big Carburetor on the 'Streetmaster 318' defeats the intent {purpose} of the
low-rise single-plane Manifold.
I have used an older Holley 550 CFM {1 9/16" x 1 9/16" Throttle-Bores} with the
'Streetmaster 318', and it works like 'A Charm'.

I would only use the Edelbrock Streetmaster on a mileage seeking adventure. Or the SP2 intake.saw one of these on fb marketplace for $150 could stop from wondering whither it would work on a 360?
Same bolt up, smaller passages and plenum restrictor, great from idle to 4500saw one of these on fb marketplace for $150 could stop from wondering whither it would work on a 360?
Bolt up, yes. Work well on a 360, I wouldn't myself. They are designed for 318's with small ports and a restricted plenum under the carb flange. A Weiand Stealth or a newer Edelbrock Performer would work better I think. A old LD 340 would work well on a 360 as well. THey are still around but are a bit hard to find and spendy. Can you say "restrictor plate"?saw one of these on fb marketplace for $150 could stop from wondering whither it would work on a 360?
Definitely for mpg, and less weight, no egr, it would be in the motor homeSadly Paul Zazarine died at the age of 58 in 2011.
69 Cúda 440 has posted well past that date.

You’re better off with a Weiand Action Plus or a RPM.
