Any competent machine shop can alter a non-Pantera intake from a passenger
car's 7 degree angle to flat. It involves milling the carb pad flat, then
drilling the 4 carb stud holes deeper & parallel to the now-flat pad, then
re-tapping the threads to the new angle; some shops will TIG-weld the stud
holes closed before drilling and tapping. JB-Weld will not reliably compensate
for reangled holes that are not deeper or welded up. Omitting this step wll
cause the carb studs to be at an angle to the carb bosses and can break, bend
or badly scar them up.
Possibly, one could oversize the carb holes, then make four angled washers
to compensate for the angle change, but this will then be a continuing PIA
whenever you disturb the carb. Best to just make things permanently square;
its obviously better to get a Pantera-specific or a racing style intake (both
types are flat) manifold in the first place, even if an angled intake may
be initially cheaper. Good luck- J Deryke
