Eric D,

So if you need a transaxle, it will cost you $12,000 for a rebuilt one; take that off the cost of the $29,000 and you are at $17,000 for one of the best Ford engines this side of the Cammer from the 60's -- that is the deal of the day. And if they deal it can be even better (i.e. shift cables and the shifter box).

The only problem with this scenario is getting it all to fit in the Pantera body -- this is where the cost of the mod motor that I am proposing starts to cost more money than the 351 option. There are frame and suspension modifications that really need to happen to make work properly; but man, once you do that you have power like you would not believe.

Oh yea, you will also have to seam weld all of the body together in the normal cracking spots on your car as well. But I'm sure you would want to do this if it has not been done already anyway.
