If the numbers I found on the web (along with my elementary fraction skills) are correct it looks like the 350 got a 435cfm carb, and the 396 got a 423cfm piece. Don Jackson

Correct, and not a very good combo..
Look at the 77 400 4 bbl Pontiac @ 260 hp ,and tell me which you'd rather have in a big car,... station wagon.

You'd be better off with a 427/335 in a big 69 Chevy
