M-1 Intake Manifold

i guess I'm lost here can't you just lay a 4150 gasket over top of the intake trace it out and then die grind it and done
Because a M1 single plane is a spreadbore intake designed for use with a TQ carb the secondary side is way wider than the Holley 4bbl. You can grind away what is not there to begin with. Also the quality of aluminum could be of question.

All other intakes for the 4bbl will have the normal square bore for the normal Holley/Carter design.
