Re: 600 or 750

Depends on a lot of things. More engine info is needed. Stock? If not what heads, intake, cam, exhaust, etc.

I would go with a 600cfm. It will be plenty. Even with a 330 hp crate engine they recommend a 650. I have a 600 and am happy with it.

Re: 600 or 750

650 double pumper would be nice on there and give you some room to grow, I wouldn't buy a 600 when the 650 isn't much price difference. For a performance minded thinking skip the vacuum secondary and stick with double pumper. I'm sure at swap meets, etc you could find a used one easily enough.

Re: 600 or 750

If you already have the 600, then use it instead of the 750.

Re: 600 or 750

Use the smaller carb.

You have an exact duplicate of a 165 HP mid-70s smooger motor, from the deep depths of the ultimate anti-performance smogger era. With the cam that's in it (the 929.... .390"/.410", 194°/204° @ .050" more or less) it will NEVER EVER draw in 600 CFM of air, let alone any more than that. Just to give you a reference point, Comp "rates" its copy of it for use from 600 to 4800 RPM. At 4800 RPM, a 350 with 90% volumetric efficiency will use about 435-440 CFM. And I doubt that motor can even do 90% VE, so its actual air flow requirement is probably even less than that.
