Hi All,
In the process of buying a very nice 57 Ford 2dr/HT. The car has a 292 with 2 bbl carb with auto trans and single Exhaust.
I want to convert it to duel exhaust with Smithy muffles and also considering going to a stock 4 bbl carb.
Would a stock 292 have any problems handling 4 bbl and would it be an improvement?
Also what length of mufflers would have the best old school sound?
Just shooting for a old school cruisier for club runs.

Many thanks for any information or thoughts on this.
