Isn't carb capacity based on the HP of the engine, rather than the displacement? So even though a Toyota motor's about 140 cu in versus 230, it makes more HP than the flathead, so a carb that ones on the former should be plenty big enough for the latter. Of course I know there's way more magic than that worked into carburetor design, and of course on our old rigs we don't have the issue of getting rid of all the smog gear, but I've got to believe there's at least room for improvement in fuel economy with a progressive 2-barrel.
