Answer 2

a 2 barrel will work fine.

If you want things perfect though and have the money to burn, find out what the appropriate cfm is for your engine and find a performance 4 barrel in that range. The last thing you want to do is go too big and drown the engine. But my opinion is that the increase in performance would be too little to justify the cost.

Building up your car is really about the whole system. upgrades should be even throughout the car. You can't go too big with the carburetor unless you also make sure your engine and exhaust will be able to process the extra fuel.

Answer 3

I believe that you will, I know alot of guys that race use the ford two barrell carbs on chevy engines.

That is going to be a tight fit.
