Do you have the machine tools available, and enough experience as a machinist to make the carburetor fit the manifold? An adapter plate is not a good option. The carb to use, if you can find one, is the small bore Rochester 2 barrel used on the 265 and 283 V8's, not the bigger bore 2G series that was used on the 305 engines. As always, "The ABC's of carburetion are- - - -Always Buy Carter!" That was true in the 1950's when Carter made a direct replacement carb for the Rochester B. and it's still true today.
