Snaponbob, there are quite a few ways to improve braking. There are many threads on this forum that discuss rotor and caliper upgrades. One of the easiest I've looked at is the 66 mustang V8 rotor upgrade for the front...I understand that it is a direct swap, but the mustang rotor is a vented rotor, same diameter and thickness so it works with stock Girling calipers.
I've also read that there was a rotor and caliper swap done on some of the factory race cars where they took a stock Thunderbird rotor which is a larger vented rotor than what came on the Pantera. The picture below is a Stop Tech 70 Tbird rotor. It looks larger (11.75" I believe) and is vented, drilled and slotted. I don't believe it has an aluminum center which it looks like in the picture and there would likely be some changes you'd have to do to for calipers. But this rotor is only $114 per rotor. This might be a good way to go and then add Willwood calipers. Not sure if this would work for the rear. I have my rear rotors off am going to some local auto part stores to check out what options might work.
Your wheel size is also a consideration...do you have 15" wheels? I have 17's & 18's so I don't have clearance issues with larger rotors. 15's might force you to go to the smaller size Mustang rotor...Doug and JB surely could answer this?
