Insidentally, I think the secret to tha TP engine is to run a single Holley 1050.
Be a little thankfull that the engine is a little flat under 4000 otherwise you would be changing the clutch once a month.
Did you find out what was done with the ZF gearing yet?
Does your sky look like that all of the time?
Hey Doug,
Thanks for the input on the TP, I had actually discused the dual quad setup with a shop in Boise. To me, the dual quad seems like more of a "gee wiz" setup. When they are tuned and dialed in correctly they kick butt. The previous owner set it up I think for more of a track car, I'm planning on street driving more than any track use. The duals actually run good on the street, I think because the taller gearing mae it a little more forgiving.
Anyway, the guy is checking into some options, but the duals are also part of what makes this car "secial", from what I gather, the 427 set-up is sort of a "signature" of Pantera Performance and Dennis Quaella(sp??). So it might e better to leave it as it was built?
The guy is building a S/O right now for a Cobra kit, so I plan to "chum up" to him for more ideas.
On the gearing, still waiting to hear from the previous owner. I have foung corispondence from Pantera Performance on the gearing options the owner had availeable, as well as the reciepts for the ZF work, but they do not list the actual ratio that was used.
We do get some cool "storm skys" don't we?
