will Edelbrock LD4B intake bolt on to a stock 1964 318 poly

Do you happen to know my carb options for the 'wind tunnel' intake. Will my Carter AFB be a direct fit to it. Is it a good carburator for my build?

My oprions atm seem to be go with an original early iron poly intake + buy an adapter. Or wind tunnel or Weiand.

iron intake + adapter (300-400 together)
Wind tunnel (750 with shipping)
Weiand (675 or best offer, ebay)

I just bought this car, I plan to keep it for a while. I did not buy it to sell. I want the best performance from it so the price difference isn't so significant to me, but I don't want to waste my money, I want it to be well spent.

I'm leaning toward the wind tunnel something tells me it would out perform the others but then again im new to this stuff so school me please.

heres what I'd do, what HP goal and what the goal for the car? The best performance is subjective. street machine, sleeper, drag racer etc. If you're just wanting a sleeper/street machine, I'd go with the factory 4 barrel and adapter, run the carb you have. Take the extra 300, get a custom ground cam from Oregon cam grinders (150 bucks), and then see how much @halifaxhops would charge to do a complete, tuned distributor for you like he did for mine. With the cam, carb, intake and correctly curved distributor, you'll be pushing near 275-300 hp

the intake difference alone between the factory 4 barrel and the windtunnel intakes is gonna be maybe 30-40 hp tops, and thats assuming you do the cam. The biggest areas that held the polys back in 4 barrel trim was the exhaust manifolds (very restrictive even for factory pieces) and the cam was very very mild.
