Carb Wanted

Hey guys.. First time poster and hope you can help me with a problem.. Am working on making my OAI system work and looking for suggestions and advise on where to get parts.. Car is 1971 Cutlass that in the process of making W30 lookalike.. Had 455 auto installed 5-6 years ago with too much cam and no vacuum.. Have new cam on order and Torker intake is off so now am looking to replace with a Performer intake and factory carb.. Now here's the problem. Carb.. What part number Rochester will work best with the new mild hydraulic Comp cam as well as the Ram Air air cleaner?? Saw a few 251's on a carb reman site.. Any help would be appreciated.. TIA Wayne

Haven't had any luck with builder.. Now we are looking intake as well.. Have seen a couple on Ebay.. What years factory intake would work best on a 455 with C heads.. TIA

I put a Holley 750 double pumper on my 455, as I was having issues with not enough fuel delivery from the Rochester, Problem solved. Car runs great now.

Understood.. Am trying to keep OAI/ ram air functional.. Performer intakes require air cleaner modifications which is not an option at this time.. Trying to have factory appearing.. BTW OAI's have a single or dual snorkle opening?? Thanks for the reply..
