The single best carby you could put on this thing for tough sound and performance is the WEBER 48 IDA.
some driveability will be lost but that is what you pay when driving a tough rotor...LOL
alternatively a DCOE sidedraft or a Holley (not recommended IMO)

Um, you want the NA engine if you have an NA car, otherwise its pointless to pay a little less and not even get a header.
Also its about preference, Weber IDA rocks, but its not exactly a very streetable carb, the Holley IS however (its a carb still). Nothing wrong with either, I personally will perfect the 48MM Weber IDA.

For a stock port engine I really liked my Weber 48DCOE sidedraft with the Racing Beat upper intake piece. The Weber 45DCOE would work just as well. For the sake of simplicity get a 1st gen distributor. Used setups like this are much easier to find than the IDA stuff.

Why are you going carb? What's wrong with the EFI system?
