Well, I am NOT a carb expert but in the 6 years I searched for a "correct"
set for a 57 300-C I have these general impressions.

I have seen a fair share of WCFB carbs. GM bought smaller carbs then Chrysler
used. %0's vintage Corvette folks will pay serious $$$ for Chrysler carbs.
I saw One ( 1 ) 2x4 for a middle/late 50's T-Bird, the venturies were
MINISCULE.
Chrysler usually used a bigger carb then the other manufactures that I have
seen. Excluding Packard, I have NOT seen any for those.
BUT I have heard that the packard ones might the most simular to Chrysler's
carbs.
Desoto, Dodge amd Plymouth carbs were generally a tad smaller then Chrysler.
I have had all 4 of the Mopar 2x4 setups pass through my hands.
(sitting on a pair of Desoto ones now, that are supposed to be sold)
