Forget the freebie as it's worth as much as you have into it. I suggest a Holley 04777C 650cfm DB. I further suggest a Moroso 1:1 secondary linkage kit followed by some time on a chassis dyno to propery tune and jet it for your engine. When it comes to carbs bigger is not always better. Enough said.
