Given the smallish cubic inches of a 276, if I was going to run 4 carbs, they would be Stromberg 81's. You're not really building a full-on race engine, so running the 81's would make it a much better combination for what you're considering.

If I was going to use 2 carbs, I would probably run an Edelbrock Slingshot - so I could run a generator/fan in the stock location. As the manifold comes apart, you can also do some additional porting work on it (if you're so inclined).

A Potvin 425 on that size motor is a bit much . . . you'd be much better off with a Potvin 3/8.
