I have a couple of questions here. Sorry if the post gets long. I bought a low milage (<4000) rebuilt 440. It was built to 1970 six pack specs and when I looked at it (before buying), it had a six pack on it. I bought it without intake/carbs. I'm running 4 bbl now but was thinking of going with dual quad (Edelbrock ch-28 and 2 600cfm). Would this be an OK set-up for the motor, not looking for max power/mpg but decent street manners and that "WOW" when hood is opened. I am planning on new heads in near future also. Second question is, am I correct in assuming that Carter AFB Competition carb is the same as Edelbrock performer?? I know they are similar but if I rebuilt both to same internals could I run one of each on this set up? I ask because I have an almost new carter sitting on shelf and was going to pick up a second one. But if I could run one of each it would open my options for picking up used carb. Or would I be better off with two of same brand? Thanks.
