The 2 barrel is not the problem. There are a few 260s using that carb, that are running 12s in NHRA Stock competition. Their power is made in the machine shop, not with bolt ons.

Since you brought up the subject of engine changes:
Externally, the 260, 307, 330, 350, and 403, including accessory brackets, are the same, and the heads are interchangeable. The only changes in the "short blocks" are related to the cylinder bore diameters.
Both 400s, and the 425 and 455, will have minor differences in brackets due to their increased deck height and, in some cases, a larger radiator will be needed.
If you are interested, I can also discuss the pros/cons (lack of respect from the Olds community, is a given) of bastardizing it.
