If it came with 2 4bbl carbs it must have 2 4bbl carbs inline or off-set like factory installed). The race organization also specifies the volume of certain parts like intake / exhaust runners and combustion chambers. In a nutshell, that says what you are proposing is a Bracket or maybe Super Gas or Super Street type engine. But definitely not a traditional Super Stock engine.
Good luck and have fun.

If you racall a few years back when they started the leave a class out at the national events Dan Fletcher did rather well with his legal S/S car in supergas. So you could infact do what he is saying just not with the parts he listed.
