Default Difference between 289 and 351w 2 barrel carbs?

Whats the difference between the two barrel carbs on each of these engines? Are they different CFM's? Or just different jettings? Thanks

i really dont think theres much, if any, difference. i had a problem with my 2 barrel on my 302 so i went to the wrecking yard and got a 2 barrel off a 390, worked great, same gas mileage and performance. as for jetting, well the jetting is going by the cfm of the carb, not the engine size, air to fuel ratio thing.
