A place called The Carburetor Shop had some for sale at one time: (573) 392-7378 (9-4 Mon-Wed central time)

Are wcfb's popular with Chebby guys?

Here's an alternative from a Caddy guy:

"You can get aluminum adapter plates to go from the WCFB bolt pattern to the big Carter AFB/ Edelbrock 4 barrel bolt pattern. I will show you a picture of the ones that I used. You can get them from Speedway....the part number for them is #7202085. I used trans-dapt carb adapters, but these appear to be the same thing. You have to modify them slightly to make 'em work, but here ya go...

The four countersunk holes (one on each corner) line right up with the bolt holes on a WCFB intake manifold. You need to use these holes to bolt the adapters to the intake, and then bolt the carb to the adapter. There are only two problems...
1.You have to drill the holes out in the centers so that a bolt will pass through them, but you have to leave enough countersunk material for the screw you use to bite on.
2. The contersunk are on mine were not coutersunk quite far enough, so you need to sink the hole edges a little further.

You will need to use a square head allen screw to do this also, as it's circumference is round, unlike a traditional bolt. If you were using a bolt, the countersunk area would have to be considerably bigger to clear the corners of the eight sides of the bolt head and your socket. If you made the hole big enough to use a regular bolt, it also might compromise the integrity of the piece. You also need to make sure that the allen screws that you use tighten up so that the tops of them are just below the carb mounting surface of the carb adapters. This way, you can be certain that they are not interfering with the carb installation (i.e. causing vacuum leaks, etc.). You can also cut down the allen screw heads compensate for a lack of countersunk depth. Once you have everything drilled and mocked up, put down a gasket, bolt down the carb adapter, another gasket on top of it, bolt down the carb and whamo! You're in business! I used two new Carter AFB 600 cfm carbs from Summit on my caddy mill, and I've been using this adapter plate set up for about 5 years now and it works great!"
