Reply to "Ford Big Block Engine Swap"

Thanks for the encouragement, Mark. I decided to go the Big Block route myself after seeing and hearing a friends Big Block cat. We were lining up several local Panteras for a group photo. As the Cleveland cars started up they sounded mean; then the Big Block started, and it was in a different league. Displacement does make a difference.

I am not going for the ultimate in performance, this being a street car. What I am going for is certain look, sound and feel. The Big Block Ford Racing crate engine takes what I like about the essence of the Pantera: Italian styling and handling with a big American pushrod, two-valve V8-- and increases the big American engine part.

In addition, I don't want to compromise the handling part, so I made it a priority not to shift the transaxle rearward. So far, I am very happy with the result-- all this on meager family budget. I will work to post more pictures as things progress.
