Yes Mr. Boss, after monkeying around with two other standard bore blocks and finding them not worth spit I decided to go back to my original block that was 40 over. I refuse to pay a gazillion dollars for a new block even if it was available. I'm not going to pound on this engine, I will just drive it to the swap meet and the store or just make a excuse to drive it. It will not be a rocket but will still be kinda cool to drive until somebody wants to buy it. I think keeping the original numbers engine is a good idea. I really appreciate everyone's input and help on this car because there is a lot not so ordinary stuff that goes along with a Pantera. I will be installing the engina tomorrow. BTW I spent more money and time revamping the heating and A/C system than rebuilding the engine.
