yes the edelbrock vic series should be a good match

theres too much missing info, on components used for a soft ware dyno to give a good guess, but looking at what I do see posted I think your compressions a touch too low, for the ideal combo, youll still need 114 octane anyway because your at near 11.4:1 compression but the combo will run better near 12.5:1 compression,and a 750cfm carbs a bit small

SAFE piston speeds are best restricted to 4000fpm for stock components and 4500fpm for the better common aftermarket components
if your serious about building a performance engine you might want to consider a BBC over a SBC
you can generally expect to get between 1.0 to 1.3 ft lbs per cubic inch of displacement and 1.0 to 1.3 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement on your average street/strip daily driver SBC or BBC engine build
how the big block and small block engines differ. The answer is not only in displacement. A small block Chevy motor can be stroked and bored to over 400 ci . it comes down to bore centers. and much stronger OEM blocks and generally better flowing heads, The small block has bore centers spaced 4.4 inches apart. On the big block, those centers are at 4.84 inches.
as a general rule you can build a 396-402 BBC that can outperform a 400 SBC, you'll have a difficult time finding SBC heads that flow more than 310 cfm at a decent price, but many BBC heads flow in excess of 350 cfm, especially if mildly ported and aftermarket BBC heads that flow over 400 cfm are available
keep in mind your basic BBC With more metal separating the bores, there's extra space for cooling galleries and added potential for boring-out. Further, more metal means a stronger block. cranks and rods and the basic BBC block are significantly stronger than the average OEM sbc parts, If you're looking for big horsepower from your muscle car motor, a big block might be the way to go.
