Yes, use the Edelbrock Performer. It's an excellent low end torque intake. That sounds like just what you want with your Merc. It's matched nicely with the E-brock Performer camshaft.
I ran this intake on a 428 CJ with the Motorsport cam, the only cam that is sold through the Ford Motorsports line for the FE. I had run a C7AE PI aluminum intake w/original 735 Holley and a 1.12 600 CFM 4100 Autolite; an Offy dual four w/500 Edelbrocks. Also ran a Edelbrock Streetmaster with the 735 Holley. Disastrous results with that one.....long story but I ran that intake exactly ten minutes and started the drain down process to get it off. So on went the Performer with a 750 manual choke Edelbrock carb. The bottem end, off the line power was tremendous. Best that '28 CJ had ever provided me.
Do you have the Holley 750 already? If so, sure, run it. Should be okay if it's in good shape. I've had a lot of mixed success with used Holleys. If you haven't purchased the carb yet, I'd recommend the Edelbrock 750 with Electric Choke for what you seem to be doing.
Just my opinions of course. Should be a fun cruise in your Mercury...if it's a Merc, still a fun cruise no matter which body you drop the big 410 into.
