I know this is has been dormant for a bit, but I figured I'd let you all know I found a poly318 four barrel intake and I purchased it. I only have one crummy picture.
It looks dingy, but I think it'll clean up nicely. My plan is to do the work this winter and have it ready to go once the nice cruising weather rolls around this spring.

I am finally ready to get this leg of the journey started!
My buddy from work took the intake home last Friday to do a little cleanup on it.
It cleaned up pretty good.
He 3D printed a carb spacer to ensure fit and finish.
We're going to CNC one out of aluminum for the final product.

Sorry, Didn't even know that was possible. I cleared out some old stuff so there should be room now.

Just got one from Fresno to the door for $390 today.
Very reasonable.

Hey, Evan....I tried pming you...but it's full. Just curious if I could talk you out of some pictures of your throttle bracket on your four-barrel intake?

I put a 4bbl on a 65 318 pickup. Here are a couple pictures of the linkage. The throttle spring bracket is from a LA318, just cut a leg off it. The throttle spring came from a can of parts I have, no idea where I got it. It was originally a 4 speed so the trans linkage is a combination from eBay and some parts I already had. I had to do a little welding to make some pieces work but it is dialed in very well now. Kick down and secondary's come in exactly as they should.
NICE setup you have.
Early on when I bought the ’63, the guy that sold it to me had a factory 4bbl manifold and carb he was planning to put in. At some point dual exhaust was installed, only 2-inch. In ’63 the Plymouth and assume Dodge 318’s weren’t available with a 4bbl or dual exhaust. This was dropped as I understand after ’62. Installed the 4bbl, electronic ignition, and swapped the axle housing to ’65. Added 3:23 sure grip. Just these changes added the pep remarkably and drove it for another 15 years.
Came time wanting to rebuild it finding out that at some point the motor had already been bored .30 and hardened seats installed. It was a CA car so reckon someone knew hardened seats were a good idea running unleaded gas.
So motor was knocked out another .30, mild cam, solid lifters, heads, crank, etc. re-machined, some 340 parts, headers, and larger exhaust/ X-pipe. Actually, too large for this motor – 3”. Was recommended by the shop for some reason that after getting wiser about this, shouldn’t have been done. Initially after the build, had Flow Master 50’s on it that sounded nice; but drove me crazy with the volume. Installed Hemi mufflers reducing the in and out to 2.5”. New stall convertor around 2500 and switched the 3:23’s to 3:55’s. Intake manifold? Heard a bunch, as I’ve read here, that dropping the factory one wasn’t worth it for this build anyway.
Results? Definitely more power top-end. BUT, couldn’t say the giddy-up was all that different low-end. Futzed with the timing getting mis-firing at different RPM’s when vac was connected. So been running all mech advance since as it runs smoothly this way. I posted about this getting nice advice from distributor experts about the distributor curve being wrong likely thwarting low-end performance. Haven’t tackled this yet including a few other car projects that keep getting pushed off due to family matters fixing old houses and mine when time allows…add a couple of surgeries. I’ve saved those posts for when I can get to it.

I'm surprised you were able to hook up the accelerator cable with the two barrel accelerator bracket or did you modify the Mopar bracket that bolts to the side of the carb?
