Edelbrock TM5 intake + 1406 carb on 318...?

I can get the combo for under $200 installed from a friend. Carb has been gone through.
I know the intake is old school but from what I found online it -should- be ok for a daily driver.
Anyone have any input on this before I pull the trigger?
Here's what I found:
I have a Torker 340 and put the TM 5 together, yes on the outside they look the same but the runners are deeper on the TM 5. Everything is, right under the carb the Torker 340 is like a 3/4 of an inch higher up. That goes right in to the runners. The runners are slope down in to the cylinder head, where the TM 5 are flat because they are deeper. The runners are the same besides that. Its hard to take a picture of but I try.
Seems to me the TM5 is better for higher RPMs but I even got the paper work with the intake, it says this intake will increase low RPM power and you may need to reduce tire pressure to stop wheel spin. It says this is for street motors. Now remember this is 1971 when guys had 4.10 gears and the freeway speed limits were 70 mph and traffic sometimes went 90 mph, everyday to work !
