Steve,
I'm a little out of my element here - modifying for performance - but I 
thought - Rick or anyone else, correct me if I'm wrong - that you'd get 
better performance and gas milage with a 4 bbl.
As long as you keep your foot out of it on starts, the mains are smaller
that the 2 bbl so better economy.  When you put your foot into it and open
the secondaries, you the better performance, and about the same milage as
the 2 bbl.
And yes, the 4bbl would require a new manifold, but the 4bbl carb and 
manifold would cost less that the 2bbl carb and spacer.
