Don't waste time and money on a 2 barrel carb, particularly buying new. If on a budget get a 600 CFM Holley 4160 and craigslist for a 4v intake. You can use the carb on either a 302 or 351w when you do it proper.

Unlike the v4 and intake you want him to buy.

I didn't realize he already had one. Personally I'd sell it and get a 650 CFM 4150, throttle response, economy and tunability should be better. But... There are certainly worse carbs the run than the big 2 barrel Holley.

I live in a county that doesnt require emissions testing. I cut the Catalytic converter off of my truck years ago. if I were to move to albuquerque or santa fe I may have problems.
