Overtorqued the air silencer bolt into the carb and this is the result!!! Can I still use it? What are the predictions if I do?

Looks like you are going to get lucky, but check your carb to see that it has the same size venturi? The one on eBay shows 1 3/16 best I can tell in the pic. Compare with yours. It is cast in the front left face of the body.
V-4 carbs were made from 1" to 1 3/8" over all the years so lots of different sizes for different horsepower outputs.
