I had a Holley 650 double pumper back in the mid 70's, and the 406 3x2's on a 63 Ford 390. I got sick of warped metering blocks, leaking gaskets, and dealing with the balance tube o-rings for every jet change.

Ever since I've been running 600 cfm Edelbrock carbs. They are dirt simple, easy to service and easy to change jets and needles. Currently I'm running a 350 with the Performer RPM manifold. Until I changed to a manual 4 speed about 5 years ago I was running a turbo 350. I'm not familiar with the 700R4, but on the 350 turbo the kickdown linkage was a simple mechanical adjustment where the link connected to the carb. Something like a Lokar kickdown cable might simplify things.
