[Classic Mustang] Holley Carb & Choke

I've been kicking around the idea of putting the Edelbrock 4V manifold on
my '71 Mach with 351C 2V. The carb I'm looking at is a 670cfm Holley 4150
Street Avenger. Here's the kicker: my air cleaner will pretty much hide
the fact that I would have an aftermarket carb, and I can take a grinder to
the Edelbrock logo on the manifold and hit it with Ford blue paint.

However, the choices I have for a choke are manual or electric. Of the
two, electric sounds better, but I really don't want to have to run a wire
anyplace where it would be spotted. What I'm wondering is if the carb can
be retrofitted with a heated choke assembly from a Ford carb so I can
continue to run my heater hoses past it to do the heating.

Can anybody comment on that?
