Holley carb question

I am currently running a motorcraft (holley) 4bbl carb on my 460. i am wanting to get a new carb and found a new unopened holley 4bbl, 750 cfm with va *** secondary. the guy doesnt know the model #. do all holleys have the same mounting and bore holes? Wondering if it will work for my application.

Look at the choke horn for some model #'s? They should be the same as far a mounting holes spacing. Square bore and spread bore?

You might need a Mr Gasket adapter, I am pretty sure your 460 has a EGR plate that is square bore and under that plate the OEM intake is also square bore.

If you ditch the EGR plate you will need that adapter or a spacer to get the linkage to clear. Also make sure you do not wind up with a gap at the back side of the carb and plate.

Well then you are ahead of the game, just double ck that you do not have that very SMALL GAP in the back of the carb.
