Holly 660 center squirt carbs seem to work pretty good on funnel rams

Also depends on which top plenum you have.  You may only be able to fit Carters or Center Sqirters.  If you are able to turn the carbs sideways on the manifold, that will open up more options for you.

There is not a huge selection of metering jets and rods for the Carters, but the rods can be modified easily.  I used to turn the small diameter, of the metering rods, smaller on a lathe, but I saw a video (that I now can't find) on YouTube where:  they just grind or file a flat on the small diameter.
