    I am going to buy a new intake and headers for my rebuilt GMC 228
    I had a performance grind done on the cam.
    I was just looking for some input as to an intake.
    That one guy in Arizona sells a 4 barrel intake for the Long Engine.
    That sounds pretty cool, although,
    The dual carb sounds and looks just as, if not cooler
    Give me some input guys

    The 4 barrel will definitely supply more fuel, but it won't help with uneven fuel distribution, which is a typical 6 cylinder problem. Any multi carb setup will give better distribution than a single carb in the middle.

    What Tim Said !

    ...The final result being : you'll always get better driveability and power from multiple carbys , a 4BBL is for V-configuration engines , on any LinLiner they're foolish and make you look silly .
