SS Ford question

Ok, so I am putting together this GT/MA deal for next year, one problem is the engine I am using does NOT have a carb on it. It is a 68 Mercury 302, and I am lost reading the Bluprint specs on the carb. It says it is a holley but what numbers? I have a regular 1850 carb sitting here will that work? We have the right heads and everything else it seems. The only other question I have is on the pistons, they are Ford .030 over pistons but they are not listed on the replacement piston list or is that list only for aftermarket replacements?

Sorry to be asking such questions, but I really dont want to get to a race and get told my car is not legal.

Thanks in advance..

And Happy Holidays to everyone..
