I posted this in the other Weber threads but wanted to make sure you saw it, my reply from Berg:
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,

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

How much machine work was required to fit the 58's? Can you post a photo of the finished manifold?
Thanks.

WOW those things are huge! You will have to post a sign at car shows "DANGER, when engine is running small dogs and children may by sucked into the intake scoop"!

Al,
I don't have a picture of the finished manifold yet--I will post one as soon as I can. I have been told that the manifold came out fine--and I believe the machining cost was around $200 to $300.

One step closer--now I've got the 58 mm Berg IDAs mounted on the manifold and ready to go.

They're so big, that if they were white, I'd have to pee in them. 
You have me thinking Webers now, though mine would be the bidet-sized 48's. |
