Aftermarket Carb w/ Computer Hookups

My stock q-jet is in need of a rebuild and I was wondering if instead of a rebuild if I could get a new carb with all of the same computer hookups, like the mixture control etc.

Does any aftermarket brand make a carb that will do this, and will it out performe the stock q-jet?

Nope. Factory Q-jet is all you get, either rebuilt by you or someone else.

For awhile, Holley had a CC 4bbl that Ford used, but I doubt it will work for you.

I've "heard" that the Ford CC Holley will work, but they're a lot more rare than CC q-jets.

I'm sure it could be made to work somehow, but I doubt there would be any benefit at all to justify the effort.
