what size is the original carburetor on the 455 and has anyone tried an electronic QuadraJet?

info about them here http://www.early3rdgen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25 these were the carbs just prior to fuel injection that were sort of a hybrid carburetor/fuel injection that utilized an 02 sensor to modulate part throttle metering electronically on the fly.

I have been digging around the internet for exactly what applications were. so far Ive only seen mentions of them used on any big blocks and havnt been able to confirm this but it was widely used on the smallblocks in 1985 and 1986

reading more, it seems like it would be a really good system for the GMC that *should* bolt right onto the original intake manifold.

with and OEM ECU, HEI ESC distributor, wiring harness, and O2 sensor this should be able to work well on a GMC but Ive yet to find out what big block trucks had these if any.

the small block stuff is everywhere and its a 750 cfm spreadbore style carb. Ive also seen mention of Cadillac using it on the 500 but havnt dug into that deeper yet.

I had a truck that had ESC and a car that had the E.Q-jet and ESC and both of those were 100% reliable in the short time I owned them. drove great too!

anyone here familiar with or have an interest in this stuff? after reading the link, seems to me it would be a really neat upgrade, if possible (thats what Im trying to determine)
