I did this and I didn't feel anything wrong, except it had a lot more raw power. She snapped them tires all day long too. (Weiand single 4bbl with a Holley 600cfm HP series and 727 pushbutton in a '64 b-body). The Holley was really the way to go in my opinion, I've gotten more torque than edelbrock when tuned properly. A good Thermoquad works well too.

Hey, Gary P.
This raises a question for me.
If you put a Weiand single 4bbl on a non-stroked 2bbl poly do you lose some  
bottom end torque (launches slower)?
Thanks.

Tom,
There are some minor differences between the 56-61 Poly motors, ie. extended  
crank flange..., but the intakes are all the same and interchange.  The  
difference with your cast iron '59 intake is that the throttle bores (the  
four carb pad holes) need to be enlarged to accept the larger throttle bore  
butterflies on the newer Edelbrock, Carter carbs that you will be using.  
The Weiand #7503 single plane alum. intake will accept these newer carbs w/o  
modification and though it is a single plane, it will not hurt your "bottom  
end" with a stroker motor.  Why will the Weiand not hurt your bottom end?
Because the 4" stroker crank provides plenty of torque, 450+ lbs. with a  
402" stroker Poly, and the Weiand single plane intake will perform just fine  
at all rpm levels; perhaps outperforming the dual plane on the mid and top  
end because of more plenum volume than the dual plane intake, although I  
would need to dyno test the OEM cast iron intake to be certain.  FYI, the  
cast iron intake is approx. 53lbs. and the alum. Weiand is approx. 23lbs.;  
the weigh vs. ET is not relevant in my opinion but getting a hernia while  
lifting it onto your Poly is a concern!

You can use either intake for your stroker and will be pleased.
