340 intake and carb combo

Have a 71 340 that has the orig intake/afb carb.. Carb is in need of rebuild/retore.. Putting the 340 into a 71 demon 318 I am saving. Opinions on if I should stick with stock intake and attempt to get this carb back in working order or should I just go aftermarket and what combo's are working for the 340's.. I have all the orig tranny/throttle linkage so figured stick with edelbrock in attempt to reuse it. Stock rebuild engine, nothing fancy. Thanks for the input in advance.
