Carbs don't come any easier to work on than the weber/edelbrock.

TBIV, set it and forget it.

Ditto, that combo is as about as good as it gets.

Agreed,.......

And,..... with the 4bbl. Carb,..... That's a 205hp motor...... I know, I've got 1........

Add a set of Vortec Heads,+ matching Intake you'll be around 220hp.........

Merc rated the ballance shaft engines with the 4bbl between 175 and 185.

Pre-ballance shaft and the later vortec engines were rated higher.
