What could have been a good thread has turned into nothing more than a session for everyone to pat each others on the back. Nothing technical here that's for sure....

pantera 2023,

Well then it looks like it was a bust.

Nate,

If you go back and reread the thread, you'll find there was technical info supplied, alot of it by you! There were also links posted to find more information from people who specialize in Mod motors.

Out of all the Panteras, only a relative few have Mod motor conversions, so we are not the experts to provide the technical depth you were hoping to see.

Since you're doing a Mod motor build-up, you may be on the forefront of this knowledge when you're done. You may become the Mod motor go to guy on the PIBB!

For those of you who really want Ford mod-motor technical advice, my suggestion is to post some topics on those discussion boards.

I post on a few of the boards where I've met some of the moderators. The sites listed below have people in contact with NHRA, Livernois Motorsports, Ford SVT, etc. All very knowledgeable in the mod-motor field. Just check out some of the project cars and ask about them.

I made the decision to go modular. There are so many different year/block/head combinations, I don't know where to start. I was thinking of the Mach 1 DOHC. But I would like to bump up the HP and Torque to around 400. Has any one researched these options or installed one that can give me advise on what works the best for the Pantera?

Did you ever check out this site? You may want to check it out.

So what do you guys think of this little modular beast I picked up ? NO WAY will this fit in the Pantera. 680hp from the factory over the Ford counter in 1965. LOL

Ron, BITCHEN!

the cammer is absolutely on of Fords best engines ever. One of the world's best engines!

7 liters, naturally aspirated, I remember 650 bhp, but I won't quibble over a few bhp, it's damn close to 100 bhp per liter, that was in 1965, SOHC and only 2 valves per cylinder.

That beast looks like its laying in a trailer, why don't you just haul it to my house on your way to the SEMA show?
