" I could be way,

original 4bbl on the '66 290 [and '67 343] was a carter afb.  iirc the
4bbl on the 327 was a holley.

both edelbrock and holley make under-500cfm 4bbls.

" The 4 barrel intake from a 1978 Matador would be for a spread bore 
" Motorcraft 4350.  I am very, very familiar with both the intake and the 
" carburetor.  I like both of them.  But they would be extremely difficult 
" to tune for a smaller-displacement V8 like the 290. Significant 

that would be true, but is the 4300 not spread bore?  it was stock on
302s about this time.
