292 + Clifford Intake + Dual Exhaust = What Carb?

Anyone out there have any advice? The guy at Clifford recommended a 4bbl Holley 390cfm. They can sell me one that's tuned for the 292 at $499. Un-tuned, those are $350 at JEGS. Rebuilt, off the internets, they're about $160.

I can get a rebuilt Rochester 2GV 2bbl locally for $220, or one off the net for $150.

This is going to be a pretty long project, so there's no rush to really hot-rod it right now, but I also figure why spend the money twice, just so I can drive it in and out of the carport? Therefore, I'm leaning to the rebuilt Holley, but I'm not set on anything, except I do need to be able to move it in and out of the carport, so I can do stuff to my 78.

Anyone got any advice or opinions on this? I'm a carb moron, but then, I'm a slow learner, too.
