SBC 400 needs to wake up a bit
Hello everyone, new member here. I have a SBC400 in my Kingswood Impala that has 53thousand original miles on it. Unfortunately it has the two barrel carb and intake, so it is in need of some upgrades. I have a quadrajet off of a big block 425 Cadillac engine. Will it swap over ok after i get a new manifold? I know that they are setup different for various engines however i was hoping someone could tell me if it is viable. Being a poor college student, i will probably buy the cheapest 4 barrel edelbrock i can get at Kragen. I saw one today for 50 bucks. Good idea or bad? I am not looking for insane power out of this engine, it just seems to be a dog right now. Headers and an electronic ignition are also in the future. Any and all input is appreciated!
Thanks

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
