No . Ray Litty built the car in the 70's with a 350/250 2 bbl PG and a tune up from W A Lee.
Frank bought the car from a guy in So. Windsor, Ct. I'm pretty sure he then put the 4 bbl on it in the late 80's. Might have gotten it from Eddie Bednaz, although I know I worked on the carb too.

are under carburated motors sensitive to header primary tube size and collector size/length?

They are sensitive to everything.

Mark, Andy had just put the Q-Jet on it before he passed.

Might have, Bob, but it would have been the second time it had one.
I don't what carb Frank sold it with, but he ran a Q jet in "N" at, I think the 89 Summers. I went with him.

At 4400 lbs it could use two Q-Jets..............I think this combo is the best. I have thought about the 427 cu in 335 hp.
