You'll also need to change the intake manifold, manifold gaskets, perhaps need an adaptor plate and carb to manifold gasket, an assortment of vacuum lines and a good vacuum diagram for proper routing.

If I may make a recommendation. Compare prices from the Holley to a compareable Edelbrock carb. I've never really been a fan of Holley's myself.
I have had great luck with the Edelbrock performer series carbs. Secondly, don't go to big. A stock engine will be very happy with a 600cfm 4 barrel carb, and will likely offer you a mild fuel mileage gain, providing you don't put your foot into it to hard.
