I'm obviously a carb guy and will agree that in many ways fuel injection is a more efficient system. However, with a vintage car those selling/promoting fuel injection are (in general) exaggerating the simplicity and cost associated with buying and installing them.

Carb choices? as mentioned, a 750cfm carb would be a good choice for your estimated power level. Holley, Demon, or stock, performance will be similar within a few HP. Personally I think a 72 TQ would be a great choice, I've done dozens of them for past customers with similar engines and have never heard anything negative. If stock isnt your bag I'd go with one of the new Street Demon carbs (they look a lot like a TQ). Great new design and simple to tune.
