Can you recommend a carb for my slightly built 440?

I stole the Holley 750CFM with mechanical secondaries off my 68 Charger to put it on my Super Bee.

The Super Bee goes like a bat out of hell now and I am gonna leave the carb on it.

My Charger has a slightly built 440, mopar performance cam, big intake but nothing super special.  I'm wondering about other carbs from Edelbrock, Demon,  ??

I am not concerned with swallowing more fuel if it keeps the heart beat racing.  I just want to maybe try something different without creating some incompatibility.

Appreciate your thoughts!

What cam, intake, exhaust, stall speed and rear gear does the car have ?

That's a nice little "hot rod" cam so there's no need to go too wild on the carb.... but i like a double pumper for that application with the 4.10's and 4 speed.  :2thumbs:

Here's what i would use :
