Aftermarket Carb with W-25 Package?

Was wondering if anyone has found an aftermarket carburetor that will work with the W-25 OAI package?

Summit has repo rochester carbs available. I do not know the details of the internals of the 70 carbs but almost any carb from t70 - 72 should work as a starting point (depending on what specs the engine has). Typical base 1970 442 carbs would be 7040251 or for OAI 7040257.

Obviously any Qjet will clear. I'm assuming that the O.P. is asking about a non-Qjet replacement.

Any carb with the same mounting surface to air horn height will work. The problem is whether or not the aftermarket carb will clear the air cleaner base.

I would think outside of a quadrajet a Holley would work fine. Edelbrock carbs may create issues.
