Seriously thinking webers. Weber guys -your feedback

Many discussions on this forum about Webers from tuning to performance to cost, etc. I have never regretted going with my 48IDA's. When you get into the tuning process, you'll actually hear your engine talk to you and tell you what makes it happy. Stumbles, backfires, carbon deposits on the plugs are the equivalent of a baby crying. It's telling you it's not happy and now the journey begins in giving it what it wants. Once you hit the setup and stuff that throttle to the mat, any doubts you had about whether or not to take the Weber plunge disappears instantly.

Rick,
We are both correct. Per the response below from Berg, the mounting pattern for the 58 carb is the same as the 48 IDA but modification of the manifold IS required:

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.

Sincerely,
