I would also prefer to use a Holley. The question for me is whether anyone has any experience using the 390. The internet posts are a real mixed bag but the majority consensus seems to be that it is not in any way a blot on carb with some minor tuning. There has been some discussion that the larger 465 Holley may be a better choice with its vacuum secondary's and choke but I would love to hear from someone that has actually used it. I am desperately trying to avoid reinventing the wheel.
At some point, I will explore efi which is where I would ideally like to be but for right now, it has to be a carb.
