For what you're doing those smaller eddy carbs generally work ok on stock type engines so you'll probably be just fine. It's just the general consensus of those carbs overall isn't that great.
I helped a guy wedge in a 350 Corvette motor into a 1952 Henry J several years ago. He had a dual quad set up with these cheap carbs. I asked him about the carbs, and he told me there were readily available and cheap. He thought they would work well. They do work but that is it. I think he never really got the car finished and on the road after all the years of modifications and fabrications he performed. Sad too, he got older and lost interest, so he let the car sit. I've no idea if he still has the car.
