Well, they are so rare that if you need carb parts your gona search for a while..

Will be plenty powerful enough as a start, and less fitting issues than the EFI..

He says they are 430mm at the base, but I think I may have a MT75 box that may make em to big

Nope, the width of the tunnel is the same with MT-75. It's just the part around the bell housing which is wider. 43 cm sounds ideal.
