Either one of those will work nicely.

If you look for the 428cj carb, there are two versions. One for automatic trans and one for 4 speed manual.

I think they have different list numbers from Holley but the difference is that the one for the automatic has additional linkage on the throttle lever for the automatic trans kick down rod.

Either will work on the Pantera very well. If you find the one for the automatic trans take it, just leave the additional linkage on it OR disassemble the throttle lever from the throttle plate and just slide it off.

If you are running basically the stock 351cj cam then the 428 carb is better for you.

That setup won't be able to take advantage of the larger secondaries that the Boss 302 carb has. That engine used solid lifters and the stock cam is a little hotter than the 351cj hydraulic cam and has more 6000 rpm and up capability.

The 351cj should not be turned over 6000 rpm's unless you do things like put the Boss balancer on it, better valve springs, better non-self destructing valves, etc.

The Boss 302 carb is also going to come with a manual choke vs the automatic choke on the 428cj.

If you run the automatic choke, you are going to need the correct automatic choke thermostat. They are marked on the face.

I think they are marked C or H? Maybe A or B too? I don't remember that at the moment.

Maybe George has that info in his data banks?

Hey George?
