As far as modifying your 2-barrel manifold to 4-barrel is concerned, anything is possible, given that you can find a machinist with the skills to do it, and you are willing to pay the price. In my opinion, it would not be worth the investment.

Not sure which 2 barrel intake manifold
Eledu may have [I have a 1982 f100 (Argentina) with a Ford V8 292 Phase 2 engine - The original intake is 2bbl]
but starting in '57 the North American Y-block engines went to a 4 bolt pattern on the intake for the base of a 2bbl carburetor ( '57 ECG-H example below) and assuming the newer Phase 2 engines may have done the same?
