Guy here in Dallas has a 53 GMC--purty truck--248 I believe--any way he has original intake with an adaptor for a two barrel carb. Running a stromberg. Claims increased performance. I'm skeptical :rolleyes: doesn't seem like he could be increasing performance much with the original intake but maybe I'm wrong. Thoughts from any carb experts or non experts please. smile

GM put small carbs on these to help with fuel mileage. A two bbl on the intake will help, just how much I'm not sure. One way to check is at the top end. I have tried the top end test, but I only take it up there and immediately start slowing down. eek
