For the carb I don't know right now.
A Holley Commander 950 TBI EFI with different jets is sitting on the shelf from a former project but i want to drive the engine the first few hundred miles with a carb.
Any recommendations for a carb matching the components above or the components in detail ?

Using Holley's formula for determining carb cfm requirements of a given engine (cubic inches X max rpms diveded by 3456) assuming a 6000 rpm redline, your engine would need 574.66 cfms of air, also, assuming 100% VE....Add in antoher 50 cfm so you don't max out the carb and you need 624.66 cfms of air, so a 650 double pumper would be perfect....you would have good idle vacum and good low end torque as well as enough carb to see it through the rpm range......
a lot of times when it comes to carbs,bigger is not better.....
