And also stay away from the Carter WCFB.
This be what I'm talking about.

I'm aware they are different. I'm not using a Rochester 4-jet. Just saying the 327 intake I have is listed as using a Q-jet for that application as well as the Carter WCFB.

Is a 62-63 327 intake a better option for this build than the Edelbrock Performer, then? I have both.

EDIT: I just checked the carb I have. It is not an Edelbrock Q-jet. It is the Carter AFB style Edelbrock Performer 1406. Big difference. My mistake. It had been awhile since I looked at it. I won't be able to use that on the 327 manifold. I would like to use the Carter AFB (Edelbrock), if I can. Maybe I'm weird, but I like those carbs and I have it, soooo....
