Dreaded f head in my 1944 GPW which carburetor?

[KRobbins]

I almost hate to bring this up, but my 1944 GPW has an F 134 engine in it. It came this way. I have been unable to locate a decent L 134, so I need to fit a new carburetor under the hood. Does anyone have an opinion on side draft, vs. Holly 1904, vs. Autolite 1100? I am trying to close the hood, and be as close to 150 CJ as possible.

Thanks!

There are some options to not detour from the aesthetics of the '44 GPW. Here are several points to what other folks have done;
