Anyways I was curious if I could use the holley carbs they make for tripower chevy intakes? Or if for some reason they won't work. Also if not those what are the best performance.carbs to use.

Thanks guys!
Naturally I really like the Holley Carbs and already have a set of 3 Holley #4412 carbs with the air cleaner air horns modified. The MOPAR carbs are all Vacuum secondary stuff and they DO look cool (when using three carb adaptors from DASHMAN) you can bolt up the Holley carbs to the 1966 Pontiac manifold (Cast Iron or Aluminum).

Then you have to either make a custom 3 carb (Ford) Tri-Power air cleaner work to keep the engine clean
or buy the special Individual Ribbed air cleaners from O'Brian Truckers.

In both cases, we are talking some CASH for the parts.

IT CAN BE DONE (I HAVE DONE IT) but my vote here is have Dick B do you a set of carbs like Tom S suggests.
