    I have a 69 350, the block stamped indicates its is originally a 2 barrel engine, but it has a 4 barrel intake and carb. So the question is what is the difference in specs between the 2 besides intake and carb. Are the heads, and cam the same in the 2. And could i figure on it having 280 Hp the way it is or lower.

    The two barrel engine has lower compression.

    The 350 2-Barrel was definately a lower compression engine - I believe it was 8.5:1
