Natural P car. Move up to O ( not recommended) , or down to Q (recommended)

You might want to reach out to Mark Howes, they live just north of Saint John, and have small block experience.

Or just jump in with both feet and build the 440/375 rated at 345hp.

'69 Barracuda is a great choice, 318, 340, 383 and 440 are all good combinations.

I just got done building one last summer with a 340. I install a roll cage, this is with no driver and no extra ballast. Pretty light car

I agree with Frank!

However, I had no luck with the 2 Brl. on my 318.

The latter 318s like we run and set the record with = Have
a BIG four barrel carb and run O and P and are Fast and
less temperamental.

340/383/440 are all quite good!

Again im new at this, looks like all 318 in 69 came with a 2bbl but I would be able to use a 4 bbl
