I'm thinking dual 4bbl on a 302 is just fine if the motor is stroked to say 325-350CID and will rev to 10 grand as an operational design center. They'd sit on a super tunnel ram intake manifold and idle horribly at 2,500RPM. The intended use of the motor would be drag racing. You'd launch at 6 grand, rev to 10 grand, hit the lights and shut down. After a day of drag racing you'd load the car up on the trailer and drag it home behind a Ford F250/F350 where it'd sit in the garage until the next drag race event.

Expect to trade/sell/give the induction system away. A 302 street motor that redlines at 5,500 RPM consumes 480CFM of air at 100% volumetric efficiency. We're told to assume 80% VE and so a basic 302 only needs a 384 CFM carb.

They 100% look wonderful but on a street 302/small block they are so overkill that they would hardly function.
Now if all you want to do is trailer the car to a show, push it off the trailer and show the car, well they'd be fine.
