600 cfm is plenty, either Holley or Edelbrock, whichever you prefer. Holley is easier to tune and better parts availability but the Edelbrock is a better design, IMO.
Remember, unless you (foolishly) buy a 'double pumper', you will run mostly on the primaries anyway, which is essentially the same as a 2v. Even with a perfect tune, I wouldn't expect more than 15-16 mpg.

I am running a 390 CFM Holly on my FE, and have gotten 14 and change on a trip. It performs about as well as the 600 CFM Edelbrock that I have.

The 390 is a 2v though, isn't it? He has a 4v intake.
