Are those gt 40 heads you have? If they are stock heads they are really going to hurt you setup. You should be fine with a holley blue pump and I would run new 1/2 fuel line or 8an line. A 650 speed demon or might demon with mechanical secondaries will probably be one of the best carbs to go with. Are you going to use a sumped setup or a pickup in the stock tank? Right now I'm using a granetelli pickup in the stock tank and it works fine.

I think either Holley black pump or Aeromotive S/S pump. Put filter between tank and pump. In fact I would sump the stock tank.
1/2 hardline up to the engine bay then -8 to the regulator then -6 to each side of carb.
I would use a 750 Holley or Barry Grant. If the car is for street use with an auto trans and not much gear/convertor I'd do a vacumn secondary...
