I have had great luck with the Edelbrock 1406 600 cfm carbs on the roller 318 engines.
Pefect calibration with no goofing around jetting, good throttle response, good idle, and handy electric choke too.
They run out nice on many other engines on the engine test run stand too, like a stock build 360, besides the 318s.
'89 Roller 318 ^^^ pictured here.

you haven't given us any information to utilize as a basis for recommendations.
but sure, a 3.5 gear will work.
will it work for what you're trying to do? who knows!
Really love the thumper sound and just drive around town, car shows. Smoky burn outs fun stuff. If i can get it to beat my 392 Challenger that would be awesome. Thats only a 123 sec car. Maybe a test and tune. I know very little about tuning. Next next winter a 4” stroke possibility
I purchased this project for my 50th birthday present. Midlife crisis I guess
I was thinkin 12.

with what you have, a bunch of converter and gear might make it passable. the compression is still gonna make soggy on the bottom. but it'd be fine around town and sound cool.
honestly though, i'd say ditch the single plane and throw on a air gap with 600~750 add some stall and gear and it'd probably be a hoot around town.
if you want to do something to correct the compression, then it's a whole different ball game.
Yes it is the dual llane with the gap

wut?
So, it doesn't matter to you if it won't pull a greasy string outta a cat's *** as long as it sounds good. Then I say go for it.
The video I put up is it supposed to sound like that. I can smoothn it out by adding timing #3 plug after warm up.

it'd be a hellvua lot easier to help if you would communicate in complete sentences and use correct terms and names for things, or at least something close to that.
if you give us the details of what you have, instead of little bits and bobs and piece meal info and rando pics we might have a better understanding of what you have and be able to assist.
for instance, i was working from the assumption that you had a single plane based on the first photo that obscured the manifold. i now know by putting together you cryptic description, the jegs screen shot and the pic in the post above that you have a dual plane.
so start with the details: what distributor, timing curve, initial timing, which carb, which plugs, fuel, transmission, stall, gear, tire height.
anything else on the motor besides, 9:1 compression and a thumpr cam with a dual plane?

Yeah, like what does post #45 even mean?
