Ok. So I just looked back to see and refresh my memory. We're both right! 1974 had a 4-bbl on top of the AMC 360. 1975 and 76 had 2-bbl carbs on top of the 351w. So we'll just call it a tie then...

It wasn't a "tie", you were wrong, only the AMC 360 IN 1974 was a 4V. The 75's all received a 2v 351 Windsor.

Not sure what you're talking about either. I'm redoing a '75 Bricklin right now. The most upgraded part to perform better is slap on the 4-bbl carb and intake. This '75 has only 16k miles on it, been owned by the same guy since 1978, all original right down to the tires and has the 351w with a cast iron 2-bbl intake and Autolite 2-bbl carburetor. I'm no Bricklin expert, but I've been researching a ton about these cars. Pretty simple besides the body.
In an article I read from Bricklinpartsva.com even says if you swap out the 2-bbl carb to a 4-bbl, swap the intake to an aluminum 4-bbl, swap the cam for a more performance minded one and delete the emissions, you'll go from 175hp to close to 300hp. And that's back in the 70s!
