Looks like a 2 barrel on there.
It's an illusion. Drop base air cleaner to an Edelbrock 750cfm square-bore carb to a square-bore to spread-bore adapter on the stock spread-bore intake.

You must definately be thinking of the Pontiac blocks. Because Buick 350 (small block) heads will not fit the larger 400,430,455 big blocks. And yes, I do hang around Small block tech (4 Viewing)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you said, but Buick does have a "big" block and a "small" block.

Thats a big stable to only house 200 ponies.
The engine came from a '70 Riviera and had 370hp 510ft-lbs. It was good enough for 14.64@96mph at PIR almost a year ago with 2.56 gears.
