It's a just Re-Built 69' Vert ,355 CI, 11:1 CR,Comp Cams 268H Cam stock Q-Jet Carb.Dynoed at 351 HP (Not Rear Wheel Figures).
Gonna put a 3:70 Gear it's a 4 speed.Yes,I agree Holley 3310-C with a Performer. I take it the Performer allows adequate hood clearence?

Yes, Q-Jets have been called "Quadradog", "Quadrabog", "Quadraquit" by illinformed folks who never bothered to learn how they work,..and work they did,..on about 10 million GM cars. That's called versatility. And with some understanding and some tuning, gearheads learned to make Q-jets (which have 750 cfm) whistle dixie on performance cars supporting 500 HP and enjoyed better mileage as a reward.
I'll take a Q-Jet over a vacuum secondary Holley any day.

That works out to something like 600 HP. Yep, just a POS carburetor.
