Default Carb sizing
1600cc Formula Atlantic's used to run 50mm DCOE Webers feeding a 24.4 CID cylinder. A 58 mm Weber feeding a single 53 CID cylinder seems a little under carbureted, the more area the better to a point where velocity suffers.
A single cylinder that has a large plenum available to feed it along with multiple throttle blades will be less restricted and produce more power.
