Nice. I like the thinking. I think Iron heads always worked if you know what to do with them. An hydraulic cj cam isn't going to cut it for sure.
Marlin is right too. You need to turn rpm's to make hp. The only thing about the C is the power is peaky. At first there is nothing there and then the thing just seems to explode.
It makes a hell of a sound doing it to, one heck of a womp.
The key in the Pantera ultimately may be how unrestrictive you can make the exhaust system. A 180 system is one way out.
Keep us posted on your saga. Thanks for posting.
