267 Chevy

I know that this is not an apples to apples comparison but take a look at how fast Ronnie Charnes has been able to go with 3/4ths of a 267 and it has a smaller intake valve!
A million years ago, Buick did a bunch of testing on it's then just re-released V-6 and came to the conclusion that the engine size and number of cylinders didn't matter when it came to carburetor size. It was the volume of each cylinder that mattered the most.
Maybe it's not such a bad comparison after all.
