Is there a carb that fits this bolt pattern?

Just curious if anyone knows if there is a carb that fits this bolt pattern. I've used this intake before with the adaptor plates for the Holley but what other (if any) carb would work without the adaptor plates. Thanks

Wasn't that pattern on old carbs called WCFB or something similar? Those would be from the 1950s.
 
The secondaries on the Edelbrock and Carter AFB carbs are to large for the WCFB flange.
ty,i knew i forgot to include something.
1-1/2 inch on the secondaries and 1-1/4 on the primaries.
a little bit of time with a dremel would fix that,and update the intake too.

edit: after saying that,i measured the distance between the primaries and secondaries because it looks much thinner on his intake.
looks to be just Under a 1/4 inch distance on the carb itself.

Posting some bolt hole to bolt hole dimensions, and throttle bore dimensions would be helpful. My guess is that some Carter, Edelbrock and/or Webber carbs will work, and many 1966 and earlier Carters. But that is a guess.
 
I would guess that the intake is a late 50s or very early 60s vintage. Just curious if it is for a B or RB engine?
 
Rochester 4-Jet carburetors have the same bolt pattern as Carter WCFBs.
 
Looks like the OPs manifold holes are the same size. What size, he'll have to measure. They need to be 1-11/16" openings.

I found the old cast iron manifold that was used on the 413 ci and I had to open them up to accept the 1406 eddys. Found a good used reamer on ebay for $20. You use the smaller bolt pattern on the carb for this manifold.

In this pic you can see the set on the left haven't been done yet.

Used an old base for a guide while reaming.

Using the smaller bolt pattern.

Well, this is totally incorrect.

Looks like Offenhauser still makes this intake, or at least sort-of, and it still needs an adapter for any carb made in the last 60 years. Why would they do that, or am I missing something?

A new intake comes with adaptors "4006"
 
Appreciate all the feedback.....I bought the intake off ebay and as soon as it arrives I'll measure the bolt hole centerlines. I've used an intake like this before but it did have the Holley adapters. I'll post up the info when I receive the intake. BTH it is for a low deck block....383.
