The two barrel may not be as flashy looking, but I really like the 20+ MPG I've squeezed out of my 57 Plymouth during a couple of trips on the freeway in the past.
And Roger is correct; if you can find the correct four barrel manifold for that application, it's megabucks. At least up here in our part of the country.

Plymouth came out with it's 277 ci engine on some 1956 models. It was built in their new Plymouth "Qualimatic" plant, quality through automation. As you know it grew to 301 and then 318. In fact it was initially designed to be bored out without redesign.
The Dodge poly was used in all 1955 Plymouths with V8's in 241 ci and 260 ci displacement.
You have a fair amount of interchange for a 325 4v or dual 4v intake, but every dual 4v manifold I've ever seen is pricey. You might even find an aftermarket Offy dual 4v intake for a 1956 Dodge 315. But for a cruiser you might be happier with a single 4v.
