Like Ed, there is a lot of information you need to give them before they spec the product.

Don't be turned off by emailing Ed, many times I got a response within 5 minutes, other times it was a day but at that time he was sick with the flu.

And budget dictates everything, that's the way it goes. As for a carb, again, budget...but something like a basic Holley 4150 or a 4150 style from someone else. Carbs can get VERY expensive though, mine is a base $550 carb, but with all the crap I've done to it and the tuning parts I have into it, I'm sure there's over $1,000 worth of carb/parts.
