Wow, great stats, but there was a 440 holley 2 bdl that was rated at 320 hp, and they were exempt from the Calif. requirements as they were in trucks. The holley was a rather large 2 bdl, spread flange carb. These were sought after by hobby racers, that were limited to a 2 bdl carb. as it was a very large carb with lots of flow. Some big Fords and Gms also used the same carb. You might find the 1974 hps shown, were for insurance purposes, and actually had a bit more power. I forgot, the RB 413 also came with the big 2 bdl, but I'm not sure if it was a holley. These were called industrial engines, and replaced the early A block hemis.
