PanterDoug engine by PanteraDoug (created on )Gallery | Comments 
This is just my old plain Jane engine. 357 cubes, A3 high port heads, 4 Weber 48 IDA's and 180 degree headers. <BR>The car also has a 1000 watt stereo so the pedestrians can't hear the driver scream in fear under accelleration.

Very nice PD,

does she make that Formula 1 type "whine" when the motor comes on the cam? I love that sound.

Did the manifold for bolting the Webers onto the A3 heads come from Kelly C?

Had it dyno'd yet?

I built a 377C with A3 heads for a client back in the '80s, 450 ft/lbs torque, 500 bhp. In the '80s! That was unheard of in a street car back then. But this guy spent all his lunch money on A3 heads, NASCAR block (that came with a billet 3.75" crank), Reid cam. I was jazzed I got to work with such expensive parts. But when we dyno'd it, I alsmost peed my pants. Wahooooo!

By the way, WELCOME TO THE DTBB! Glad to have you aboard.

Your friend on the DTBB, George

I love the look of the 180's!

Where does your exhaust exit? Seems like most people have to give up the A/C for the pipes.

They exit just above the stock location. They don't interfere with the a/c. The rear luggage compartment had to be "modified" to fit.

I don't know. That you need to hear from a distance. I remember the GT40's in '65 at Daytona. They didn't whine, they had a scream to them only a '40 could make. I whine a lot. Does that count?

No it's a Hall Pantera manifold. Small port to match the heads.

Well it sorta makes 460 at the wheels without the nitrous. I don't like my car strapped down waiting to explode like that.

Try it from behind the wheel. You point it, punch it, hang on and check your Depends
