These are the mods we made to the factory cast intake for the low dollar 318. I know those that know already know, but I have seen many here on FABO trying to mount a holley - or square bore carb to one of these. Hopefully this will help.

Good job.
Totally and completely 100% unnecessary. All you need is this.

That exact piece is in the video and is what I am using. That piece alone will not allow you to install a square bore carb on that intake without modification. I demonstrate this in the video, the front butterflies hit the divider.
Yeah I saw that after I opened my big mouth. Not all TQ intakes are like that, though. Some of them don't need mods. Thanks for the video. At least those that do need it know how to do it now.

Or……for those that would like to swap the carb without removing the intake from the engine and making the chips fly:
