I recently bought a 67 GP with a recently rebuilt engine. It is not original and in fact is a WA 400 265hp 2 bbl with less than 15 miles on it. Ok
Having been a stickler for original parts for my other cars I have decided to screw that and just build up what I have. I am looking for a decent but not expensive 4 bbl carb and intake set-up and also the possibility of electronic ignition. I am looking for 325 to 350 hp which is what this cars original engine had put out. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you thinking QuadraJet or the original AFB setup?

I would look for a 68-70 Q-jet manifold from any V8.

I would agree that an early Q-jet iron intake, Q-jet carb, and probably a cam upgrade would be an effective and affordable way to improve your 2bbl 400. I have an 068 equiv. cam in my 4bbl 400 in my covertible, and it is quite "snappy". It easily roasts tires with my 2.93 rear.

For the electronic ignition, try a pertronix kit, or do the full monty and get Dave to do a small body HEI conversion on your distributor.

Thanks for the info, I believe Bob Vidan can set me up with a cast iron intake and CarbKing with a carb. I will look into pertronix. What a great board.
