They aren't slotted on the bottom. They're dedicated to the Carter BBD pattern. Whatever the Carter BBD pattern is, that's what the intake pattern is.

Right. But this ain't it.
There are 2 size BBD's, the larger one looks nothing like the 'teener one, it has the same pattern as the Holley 2210/2245. The bolt pattern is unique to them.
Cheap & Nasty, that's how I had to make the adapter when I did it to put a 2245 Holley on My SuperSix intake. I decided to slot the base plate in the 2245 to match the smaller BBD at the throttle end to keep the throttle & kickdown stuff where it belonged, and let the inside end hang over with all-thread studs in the right spot, shifted a bit forward. Only problem is the base material needed filler there, iron & aluminum. The Al intake was 1.5 10ths quicker, for whatever reason, just was.
Cool! How'd it work?
Great, but without the right stall converter, I cut the throttle shaft in half....blocked the Pass. shooter, & put a VS Pot on it. Worked much better, after rejetting, it posted the time slips in My 'Glimpse of the Past' thread. I really wish I'd have come up with a proper 904 converter for it back then, but.....
BTW, that carb was rated @385cfm@3"Hg, or ~[email protected]"Hg., the good thing about the 2245 vs 2210, there's a plug You can yank to reveal the adj. screw to tune the PV spring tension.
