Take everything Clifford says with a big grain of salt. The easiest way to get lots of performance out of a stovebolt engine is to lie about it- - - - -with no documentation to back up your claims. Two carburetors on a stovebolt is either one too many, or one not enough. The dual carb setup makes good eye candy to impress the mouth breathers at a car show who have no understanding of physics, and only loses a little bit of performance over a 1 barrel setup. A modified intake manifold with a 4-bolt flange and a Rochester 2G 2 barrel works a lot better, and actually gives power gains that can be measured on a dyno. A stroker crank and a set of 223 Ford 6 cylinder pistons gets 270 cubic inches from a 235 if you don't have a 261 block handy.
