A million years ago, Buick did a bunch of testing on it's then just re-released V-6 and came to the conclusion that the engine size and number of cylinders didn't matter when it came to carburetor size. It was the volume of each cylinder that mattered the most.
Maybe it's not such a bad comparison after all.
So with a 300 cfm carb a 260 ci V8 would breathe better that a 260 ci V6?
