I'm new to the Pantera comunity, and just bought my first Pantera 3-4 weeks ago. What I was wondering about is the information I got from the seller (older gentleman in San Diego) regarding the engine. Is this list a typical selection of parts by the happy rookie, or a well thought choise by a pro?
Can this be considdered a good (as in all-round) engine?
Here is the info:
