the highest flowing 2 barrel i know of still isnt as big as a small 4 barrel(around 500 cfm). in my opinion you should just convert to 4 barrel. just my two cents though.

A conservative calculation says your 429 at 4500rpms needs a minimum of 550cfm at 85% efficiency. A 600cfm 4-barrel would be your best choice.

Holley makes a manual choke 500 cfm 2bbl. It is used by many roundy round racers that have to run 2bbls. They are designed like the front 1/2 of a regular Holley 4bbl. Would probably alot cheaper than a intake and carb. It would be good for a stock engine that isn't going to be turning much over 4000rpm.
