I don't know if you are going to like a Edelbrock much in Texas.
They do run good with very little messing with, but they are VERY susceptible to heat and boil fuel easily due to the fuel bowls being within the main body of the carb.
They also tend to go very lean for a couple of minutes on warm startups.
Believe me when I tell you that you will be chasing carb heat soak issue's.
That said, I still run one on my car and besides the heat issue's I like it.
I have the 1406 and it's a daily driver.
