Can anyone provide the dimensions of the red box in the photo below? I made a cardboard template of that area and then misplaced it, and the car is in another location. Using just a tape measure is adequate for what I am doing. Thanks!

I don't have the Hall Pantera manifold, but it's a Weber IDA bolt pattern....
Correct. It is in fact a copy of the original manifold thickened in key areas like the carb mounting flange but the spacing is the same. 51mm throttle bores, flange height, etc. So it was made for the 48ida.
Using a different carb or throttle body will require some kind of an adapter.
Thanks Julian and Doug. This is what I needed. I am cutting some aluminum plate to block off the ports on the top of the manifold in order to pressure and/or vacuum test the plumbing for MAP and IAC along with the intake gaskets while I am at it. I have a nice piece of 4" flat bar and will saw it into four 9" sections. Then drill them to match the manifold and bolt them down with sheet rubber as a seal. The lifters, pushrods, and rockers are not yet in the engine which makes this possible.
Have fun.
Yep. It will be a party. Hopefully is does not turn into "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to ..."
