I take it you mean the actual carb intake manifold. Its hard to see at that angle, but simply match it up to your stock intake manifold and see if the holes were made larger.

put an intake manifold gasket up to it. and why would you put that heavy *** carb on your hood????? ahhhhhhh be careful!


edit: actually from that angle it looks like the primary ports have not been touched at all. now they could have meant where the carb meets the manifold. most people port that larger to fit the barrells better. check that.
