Smile Carb advice, '70 302 carb on '95 GT?

I have a '95 GT 302 engine w/ edelbrock Performance RPM intake. I'm swapping this engine with my original 1970 302. The original 302 is just the basic engine not a boss or anything like that. Can I use the old carb? What would the performance and gas mileage be like? Should I buy a new carb? If so what would you recommend? This is going to be a summer driver for me and the family. Your help and advice is appreciated.

Get a new carb since we don't know what your old carb is. Eldebrock, Holley or a pony carb are the choices.

You do know that it's not just a simple bolt in, right?

This will help with alot of the questions

The 86 and 95 engines are pretty much the same. All your '70 stuff will bolt up BUT you'll need an AOD flexplate if you have a C4. You'll have to swap out the timing cover and water pump because the 95 has a short pump and cover. You'll need to add a fuel pump eccentric if you're using the mechanical pump.
