Can't say what those specific springs will do but you should be able to find a shop in any city of respectable size that can re-arch your existing springs. Re-arching puts new form into the spring and there's no doubt about whether they'll fit your car. Leaf spring arcs are linear meaning that if the free spring has an arc two inches higher than before re-arcing, they'll raise the rear two inches higher.

Stock 2V 390 cam...don't know the exact specs but the duration is in the middle 190s and the lift is around .450. It's pretty tame by any standards you care to use. It runs out of breath by about 3,800 rpm.

You have nothing to gain by going to the larger Holley 2bbl and changing nothing else. Engines are relatively unsensitive to larger cfm if the engine can't use the airflow.
