You can fit different size venturis in either one. The 40 or 48 refers to the diameter of the top stack. You can't fit 40mm venturis in a 40 mm carb(there would be no narrowing of the air pipe for venturi action) A street car could get away with a 40mm carb, I don't know what the biggest venturi available for them is but it's what you would want. The 48 would be better, with maybe 40mm venturis.
