Scott, I think that it was your lack of experience / knowledge at age 18 that made your 2bbl to 4 bbl adventure a flop, especially if it was Q-Jet swap over you did!

If nothing else assuming having in the ball park jetting conditions and having full throttle available the car should have had better drivability at low speed and at least 10 to 12 more hp.
I know that would have been the case for me!

I agree. Even 301’s came with 4 bbl carbs and 2.41 gears without problems.

I think I was actually 17 but non the less, you are probably right.. it was a carb and intake off of the original 400 that was in the car I blew up..
Never got it to take full throttle without rolling into it.
