I forgot a couple of other things you'll desperately need if you try this & get hooked. Add to your 'Need' list a 10-qt oil pan, an upgraded distributor drive gear roll pin and an aftermarket hex-driveshaft for the pump. The last two will run a whopping $35 but an Aviad pan is around $500 from the vendors. With sticky tires and the cornering capability of a Pantera, your crank bearings will NOT survive a whole season without them. As for power steering, IMHO it's unnecessary. My 5ft 2" 112-lb wife autocrossed several Panteras with 11" wide gumball tires for 5 years, winning 3 regional championships, with no arm-strength problems. Remember, a LONG autocross course is 60 seconds in 2nd gear; most are shorter. You don't have time to get tired! Adrenalin is a wonderful thing....
