History lesson: '71-76 Panteras used 351-Cs until Ford dropped the motor, then the factory began using Aussie 351-Cs. Those dried up around 1982 or so, when they substituted 351-W engines. The last few Pantera 200s came with fuel-injected, catalyst-carrying 302s. All bolted up with no mods. FYI, Ford flywheels & clutches also interchange from the 289s to the 460s, as long as the balence factor is identical.
The Euro-Guaras used SOHC BMW V-8s while the rest came with DOHC Ford Mustang engines. The BMW cars had a pair of straight-cut transfer gears between the crank & clutch-input shaft to adjust the driveline height. These cars have a distinctive gear-whine under power, and are torque-limited. The Ford cannot be swapped into the BMW powered cars or you risk blowing the transfer gearcase apart.
