Donnie, lets put this in perspective.  You want an 800 hp engine and a trans to match.  The old adage applies here.  How fast to you want to go and how much money do you have?  The two go hand in hand.  The pantera is an appreciating classic with some pretty strong values for some of the more tastefully restored cars.  Spending $4,000 on a aftermarket engine block to me is a sound investment in the long term longevity of your car.  800 hp naturally aspirated is probably a car that I don't want to drive on the street very often.  The pantera begs for a high horsepower endurance engine.  George has a formula for a 500 hp or more engine using a stock cleveland block.  I used this for the basis of my build and I couldn't be happier.  As I understand it anything over 600 hp is the limit of the ZF.  Once again:  How fast do you want to go?  How much money do you have?
