Pulling the motor out of a Pantera is not that difficult IMO. I personally think doing so will more than offset trying to do the cam through the access panel from the cabin and reaching in over the rear. One slip and you've got a torn seat or oil stained carpet......you have to pull the heads anyway, so why not make it easy on yourself.
Get a few of your local PNWC guys around, I hear tell they are very adept a pulling an engine for few beers and pizza!
