Did the 288 ever come equipped with a 4 barrel carb? I see the horsepower and torque seem to take a big jump in 1953-54. The cam shaft lift list as the same from 1951-54 on the engines. Compression did go up from 7.0 to 1 in 1951 to 7.8 but I would not think this alone would up the horse power that much. Not to say the torque went from 230 lb/ft in 1951 to 260 in 1954.
