Default help choose carbs for 434

I am considering dumping efi for carbs for a couple reasons. The motor on a stand is like 700hp. Been on chassis dyno bad efi tune and shutting itself off at 5K made like 500rwhp and tq roughly. Rev limiter 7K.

I currently have a Motown single plane on the car and would like to know what size carb to use on that if I stayed with it.

The next option is I want a tunnel ram so what size carbs for that one?

434
AFR 220 comp port heads
Howards cam 248-256 @50 110LCA .650 lift
Howards 1.6 rr's
3.45 gears / auto
10.8-11 comp

It's not recommended to take a 400gm block to 434 has been done though. Dart Aftermarket block.
