The top one has the thermostat housing clocking different for an A/C application. I'd consider a 1&3/8" primaries thermoquad from Demonsizzler.
By the way, O tried to PM him to see what a carb would cost and his inbox is full. I will try a thread notification.

I would just use the non-EGR manifold and get a spacer and put an Edelbrock on it. You will probably hear some on here say it won't work out but I added the spacer and put an Edelbrock on my '72 340 and it runs fine. Not a killer combo but the carb runs fine and reliably. If you don't want to do that just put on a spread bore Holley (won't need the spacer)

Its obviously too low and hits the manifold on the side. Can a spacer be used to lift it???

Dave,
You also need the spacer because the manifold is for a spread bore carb (primary butterflies are smaller than the secondaries) and the Eddy is a square bore (all 4 butterflies are the same size)

OK, so here are the valve covers and manifold that I decided to use, the non EGR older one.
I also found this in my parts stash, its an Edelbrock carb. has the numbers #1407 on the side and looks like 0236???? any idea what CFM this is and why wont this work on here??? Its obviously too low and hits the manifold on the side. Can a spacer be used to lift it???
And I know the engine is not original, but what valve covers appear more original for this truck??? I painted and sand blasted both sets.

Way too much square-bore CFM for your 318! You would only need either a 500 or 600 cfm square-bore or an 800 cfm T.Q., David.
