The 1x4 and 2x4 are not the same. The nipple locations are different. If you're not using a Turkey pan, than you could use the 2x4 log. But if you are using a pan, you need the proper 1x4 log if you want the fuel lines to line up with the inlet holes in the pan.
Here's an original 1x4 log on my motor...
