Reply to "71 pantera"

No. The following are what seems to be true:
*ALL U.S Panteras 1971-1974 came with std Ford 351Cs w/hydraulic cams.
*Not all the above came with 4-bolt main caps- some were 2-bolt.
*No mechanical cams whatsoever in U.S Panteras.
*Boss engines never had hydraulic cams, were only offered 1970-71 & NOT in U.S Panteras. Possibly in the Gr-3 & Gr/GT 4 racers sold in Europe
*In '72, there was a 'HO' engine with a mechanical cam & open chamber heads. Panteras didn't get this one, either.
*The original block serial number is stamped above the bellhousing on the drivers side & this should match the motor number tag in the front trunk & the rear inner fender panel tag. But since all blocks were the same, it won't ID a Boss engine either.
