I personally dont like the metering rod style carbs, i havent had much luck with them, and several of my friends have had a bad run with them as well...Ive liked Holley carbs since high school, granted there are the POS OEM Holleys out there that dont have adjustable floats and just dont work worth a crap, but a good aftermarket Holley carb will make your engine run smooth and give you the power the motor really has in it!! as for 2 or 4 barrels, if your truck has a 4 bbl then go with a 4 bbl, if it has a 2 bbl (unlikely on a 460) then stick with a 2 bbl...i have a 780cfm 4 bbl vacuum secondary on my 460 and i love it, i also have a 500cfm 2 bbl on my 351m, both Holley of course, and i never have to mess with either one...
