390 FE Edelbrock Power Package

I built, pickled and stored an 030 over 390 FE over 30 years ago, and am considering pulling it out of storage and building a Cobra replica around it. I was shooting for 10:1 compression with stock heads, and I "believe" I put middle of the road quality parts in it, but didn't keep records.

Most advice I see online is to stroke the 390 for power, but am wondering if I could just put an Edelbrock Power Package on it, and build a Cobra replica around it. (Performer RPM heads, intake and cam)

I'm not looking for ultimate performance, but I am fairly sure it would make good power, while looking and sounding "right" with a 427 SC bodied replica.

Has anyone already done this? What was it like?

Also, what kind of cfm should the carb be? 750/850?
