Its the same story with Ford Q (410hp 4bbl) and R code(425hp 2x4bbl) 427's in '63/'64 Galaxies. Also '62/'63 B (385hp 4bbl) and G code (405hp 3x2bbl) cars. Single carbs just don't get any respect from folks when they expect multi carb setups on these cars. So owners/sellers often put the multi carb setups on. One thing is that most of these "special" multicarb intakes all got saved and put on shelves, even after the cars were blown up, wrecked or rusted away. Multi carb setups were cool enough to hang onto, while factory single 4bbl intakes weren't so lucky, no matter how good they worked.
The only thing sadder is all of the '70 SS396 Chevelles that get SS454 emblems because of the cubic inch envy of their owners.....
