Here's a couple of threads on the BT intake you may have already read...

FWIW, I have BT on my Pantera at the moment and the air cleaner does NOT fit under the pre-L engine screen. Albiet, my BT has not been milled flat for the Pantera.

Regardless of which intake you go with, make absolutely certain your air cleaner does not make contact with the decklid when closed. The last time I rebuilt my engine I used a Weiand Xcelerator single plane manifold (milled flat) with the Hall cast aluminum "Pantera" air cleaner. The decklid made contact with the top of the air cleaner when closed. That contact resulted in sufficient force being applied to the air cleaner stud to work harden it over the course of 3000 miles at which time it broke, then vibrated loose from the wing nut and went down the carb throat and into the #8 cylinder where it cracked the cylinder wall and collapsed the piston. So, make certain your decklid does not contact the top of the air cleaner, and either weld your wing nut to the air cleaner stud, or use a bolt so it can't drop into the carb in such an event.
