Thanks for your replies, If you could get by the shifter linkage problem it would probably be a nice looking street setup. Would it be correct to say that there would be less stress on the half shafts because the the braking is being done at the trans outputs??? Although the half shafts are similar to a drive shaft they can take some pretty amazing loads. I like the e-brake setup idea. If you go to a racing brake setup that doesn't provide a parking brake arrangement with the caliper, then mount a small rotor and caliper on the right side. As far as the trans goes is it possible to modify the linkage to extend it past the area of interferance? ( I don't have a Pantera yet, so I can't tell by pictures ) or use a hat type rotor that brings the disc part out past the linkage and not interfere with the half shaft hole in the body and of coarse do the same to both sides to make it look correct.. Just thinking...
