That .09" difference makes a world of difference in the performance of this tiny V8.
True enough.It's a small carb.Same one Billy uses on his 307.
It feeds 45 less cubes though.
Less cam, but a bit more compression.
30 hp less , rating wise
It ought to run a half second under in decent air with headers, converter and such things maxed out......in my opinion.
