    My current 2-barrel carb. (original) on my 1968 Handi-Van 307V8 is tired and needs to go. I could have it rebuilt, but I figure it might be better to get a new carb. For the 307V8 what do you think is the best way to go for fuel efficiency: a 2 barrel or 4 barrel carb.? I know if I switch to the 4 barrel I will have to get a different intake manifold....any recommendations on that too?

    Thanks!

    Just rebuilt mine to get the Van running good and now I'm pulling the 307 for a new crate engine. I'll sell you this one $100 and shipping, just put it on and go.

    2v will be cheaper on gas than a 4v.
