Default 71 LT-1 carb replacement

I am looking to replace my original Holly with an aftermarket unit. I will be keeping the stock manifold. Any suggestions out there? Thanx in advance

I am running a Holley 750 Double Pumper on mine. It is working quite well. A BG Speed Demon or Race Demon would be my other choice.

I run a Holley List#4777 650CFM double pumper on my low 12 second 1/4 mile LT-1 (not a stock motor but, a stock intake with only port matching to heads.) I have a nice one for $185 with a fresh re-build if you want one, Email me. I also have a Barry Grant "Demon" carb (the one Holley sued him over because it was too close to the Holley in design) I'll sell the Grant for $250, it is like new but, I did'nt like it as much as the Holley on my car (I traded a 350 Chevy LT-1 forged crankshaft for it, the crank was like new and I wish I hadn't do the trade.)
