I don't think this is right so I'd appreciate your insights. '77 intake carb seat is leaning to the front (left in pic) and I don't think it was cast this way. Is this warpage known to occur?

looks like they mucked up the machining of the carb base
I think your manifold was repaired and the machining was not done correctly. I would search for pictures to compare to.
Here's one for reference:

Was doing just that when you replied.
Found this one with matching part #.
Pic #2 looks like mine BUT I'm open hearing more from the collective before I abandon this one.

Just had a peek at one in my shed. It's angled exactly like yours! Looks like it's normal. Sorry for the confusion.
I never noticed this before, yet looking at it, it's really noticeably angled. [17111 61010 cast number]
Some more stuff here. Anyone seen this before?? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/anyone-seen-this-before.647822/

That section of the intake on my 2F leans a little forward as well. I just assumed it needs to do that because it's going so fast.

Great feedback guys!
The lean doesn't seem to affect carb and isolator fitment at all. Still a little concerned with airbox arm alignment to the carb after everything gets bolted up.
Appreciate y'all taken a look for me.

Maybe to compensate for the motor's slight slant to the rear? Only have older rigs, so don't know if the engine set (angle) was different over the years.
Yup! Engine tilts back and carb sits level. Or so I always assumed.

As the last couple replies have said, the engine tilts rear end down a a few degrees and the angle for carb mounting is to compensate for this to have carb mounted level.

Huge thanks to ALL of you for bringing your knowledge before I bolted it all up. Hopefully this little tidbit can help someone else as well.
