You can buy a 2 to 1 barrel adapter and mount a 2-bbl on the stock manifold, but the stock manifold is so choked you probably wouldn't notice the difference.

An Offenhauser manifold and headers/efi exhaust manifolds makes a HUGE difference on the 300.

do you know were i can get these 2 to 1 adapters? and i looked at the intake manifolds could i just get a 2 barrel carb for that and the exhaust instead of the headers can i just get a new exhaust manifold..but it would have to be the EFI exhaust manifolds?
