Hey, no big deal, Billy. Just jive talkin' here....

Now, I'm thinking that 2bbls keep coming up here...on V8s...How about the better V6 combos? Less engine parts to buy....In other words, cheaper.
It seems to me a smaller carb would go better on a smaller engine.

I'll just list a few.. If anybody's interested, we can work out the details.

77-78 Buick 231/ 130 hp .Still a great combo.

79 , dual jet @ 140 is okay too.

1979 Buick 3.0 (196) @ 115 hp

Various Malibu and Camaros with the 229 Chevy or even the 200 .Billy knows this one.

Here's an available one ; 1985 Monte Carlo 4.3, TBI . A Bob Shaw combo, since de-factored to less than the Caprice body ,which is competitive still. You could run a 2004R O/D with 6,14's if you wanted to..

We've got more...
