    I'm not sure what direction to head with my carburetor. Could rebuild the 2bbl Rochester that's on it, could replace it with another or could upgrade to a newer 4bbl or something of the like. Any thoughts or experiences???

    While considering the carb . . . what do you guys think about the rear axle. Any suggestions or experiences you guys could share?

    It is worth looking into a 4bb intake and q jet swap, search in the SBB section for "4 bb swap" and you will get tons of info.

    The 2bb is good for a stock engine but lacks power in the upper rpms if you upgrade the exhaust, cam ect.

    what are you looking to do with your car? street/strip (or both) road rally, daily driver, pro touring, daily driver, weekend warior, show car or any combination.... need to know before we steer you in a direction.

    Will end up being a daily driver. With the occasional trip to the track of course.

    I may have a 1972 350 4bbl intake to sell you if you don't mind waiting a month or two.

    Hi Noah,

    Okay, sounds good. I'll get you a pic of my intake soon - it is on my Buick now. By the way, no EGR or Air pump power draining stuff on my intake :)
