Good morning, is the 2 bbl carb bigger for the 318 engine combo or is it the same size as the 273 engine combo? That should be the question that needs to be addressed here. Here's an example the 327/ 275 hp engine uses the same size Q-Jet as the 350/255 hp engine combo. The 327 engine would "see" the same carb as slightly bigger because of the slightly less demand the smaller cubic inches puts on the carb. Along with other important engine specs, that's something I look at as well while "brain storming " a new race combination. Just my two cents.
