We have not gotten the car yet, its comming in a couple of weeks but I want to plan ahead and price out the build, I was told its got a 305 with a 4 barrel carb on it.

What I need to know is do I need to change the intake manifold or will the 4 barrel come off and the 2 barrel go on. It has a stock carb now and it will get a stock 2 barrel as per the track rules.

You will need to source a complete 2 barrel intake and carb combination if you are bringing it back to 100% stock. Don't take this the wrong way, but how long have you been teaching auto shop?
