Default Which Carb do I want?

I have a 65 289 recently rebuilt...... buts its just a 2v. I am going with a 4v set up.

The 289 is going to remain mostly stock. I envision tri-Y headers, X-crossover pipe and probably something quieter than flowmasters (I don't know yet) On the intake side of the motor I bought a ford motorsport dual plane manifold its the one idle to 5500rpm.

Here's the part thats been working me over. I can't figure out what carb I want. I think I want a 600cfm, dual feed, vacumn secondary with electric choke. I have no clue about part numbers or whether holley or edelbrock is the brand I want. The only thing going for me is that I have access to a dyno machine and a mechanic who's all up for tinkering to get the best performance out of whatever carb I do get. (I haven't had a chance to ask the mechanic yet, but I wanted everyones opinion as I have no clue yet)

Thanks and please let me know

Jeff
