Mr. Sorkey, Our Berg IDA carbs have the same stud pattern as the original Weber 48 IDA. The top of the intake manifold needs to be opened up for the larger throttle plate in our carbs.

Al,
Thanks for posting the message from Berg. I have confirmed that the standard 48 IDA FE manifold will work just fine (consistent with the message you received). I have already had the machine work done on the manifold to match the Berg 58 mm carbs.
Thanks for the heads-up regarding the hood scoop. I went with the shorter velocity stacks to try to help with hood clearance. However, the diameter of the stacks is almost 4" at the top--so they're pretty wide.
I will keep you posted as I try to get things together over the next couple of weeks.
Thanks,
Stentor
