To me the SBC is not better than the 235 , just more cost effective .

I was looking online on my local classifieds and there is an edelbrock duel carb intake with a set of Rochesters on it for $1200 bucks an offey valve cover ( painted ) for $500 !!! For that price I can get a running SBC mated to an auto trans and be on my way more or less .

$1200 is quite a bit for a bare intake

Forget the dual intake; find a triple. You actually will get a significant power increase, as well as the eye candy. If one doesn't do everything right, possible to LOSE power with the dual intake compared to a single.

Hey John

on your advise when I built my 261 I went with an offey intake with triple zenith carbs . Carbs where off a ford inline originally
Engine pulled great through the rpm range and had great response .
I agree .
