Adams,
FYI, there is a Pantera version of this manifold with a "flat" carburetor mounting pad. The other (standard) versions have a 10 to 15 degree angle, like most manifolds designed for American V8's. These manifolds with angled carburetor mounting pads are available for Holley 4150 & 4500 series carburetors. So make sure you're buying the right version.
The angled version with the 4150 carburetor mounting pad would function just fine in a Pantera, but the flat carburetor mounting pad gives you a little bit more verticle clearance.
I believe Art Stephens has a BT manifold, and from what I've read he will be switching to CHI 3V heads & the Scott Cook manifold for his new motor. You guys should hook up.

Thanks Georgie and larryw. So the 'standard' BT for Pantera is "FLAT" as I understand, and should NOT require any additional custom work for throttle cable bracket, etc. Correct?
If so, I'll proceed with Art Cook, presumably a member.
