Carburetor Setups

I am planning ahead, about a possible engine, and I was wondering, what is overall better to have a 4bbl. or 3 2bbls. I know that the 3 deuce would probably be better when you mash on the gas, but what is better for all around driving? Thanks

Go with the 4 bbl, much easier to keep running right.

Yes a 4bbl is great, many people don't like the quadrajet, but it's an excellent design... Good fuel economy, and power when you want it...
