I second the idea of EFI, but a Holley-style TB and elbow are probably going to be higher than a carb and air cleaner. I'd be more inclined to get an elbow that bolts to the carb pad and use a modern, inline style TB. All that plumbing under the hood is going to detract from the 'original' look of a carb anyway - may as well go 'all in' and do it right.
Don't forget to switch to a single-plane manifold if that's not what's on there now.
