No idea about the SBC, but if you set up and properly adjust either the Zenith or Solex carbs, these models, especially the M130 with Zeniths, will pull stumps.
Their downfall is the crappy gas mileage. Of all the cars I owned with the M130, I never, ever got better than about 14 MPG. And that was in a 1970 230C, that was one of the most fun MBs I ever owned.
