George,
Thanks .. I see your point but whats throwing me is the SVRA Regs Specific for a Pantera is most unusual to say the least. If you look it up a Pantera can use either internal or external dry sumps, Webers, spoiler, aftermarket heads, roller cams, electronic ignition all of which is listed to be an HISTORICAL RACER of the Period. Brakes allowed are 11.5 +/- Tires 10" and 14:" wide sounds like an awful lot of lets say RACING equipment to FACTORY Car.
I guess its unfortunate that Detomaso's timing created hardship ... the GAS CRISIS of the 70's for a high dollar car ... must have been like selling snow balls in the summer trying to get racing sponsors for a small car co.
For me fortunate enough the block I'm using is a dry sump block ..wow now that worked out well .. eh.
