Single Barrell Stromberg off a Holden 186 isn't bad, side draft Rangie Strombergs are also good. Basically look for a deep fuel bowl rather than a wide one, so the pickups have more chance of staying imersed in fuel at angles.

most carbs can be modified to improve their running on steep angles, rerouting the bowl breathers , fitting slosh tubes ,vent baffles are a few that spring to mind all are easy mods.

Thanks 360 scout.
I have a holley with gas on at the moment but it is lacking power, so i am also thinking of fuel injection.
