Yes it will but you might need to run a spacer on it. The Eddy carbs tend to have a problem with absorbing heat and boil fuel. The Torker has a different design but I had a slight issue with fuel boiling on my Performer with AVS 2 carb until I added a spacer. But yes... The Eddy 600cfm should work fine with a Torker on a 360. 

You might also consider getting a tuning kit. Very rarely does a carb run perfectly out of the box. My 500cfm on my 304 needed to have the metering rods replaced and be re-jetted before it would even drive right.

By needles, do you mean metering rods?

Awesome. Thank you for the advice.  I'll offer him $250 and see where it goes from there.

The seller accepted my offer of $250.
I know I still need a spacer but I wanted to see what it would look like.
