A few years back I purchased a '71 Pantera with no oil pressure. To make a long story short, the engine had a broken push rod and two bent rods. Rather than a stright rebuild, I build the engine using a Coast High Performance stroker kit, reworked heads, a split duration cam, Victor highrise intake and a 750 double pumper. The thing riped!! Gobs of low end and it would windup to about 6500 rpm. A business turnaround forced me to sell the car but if I ever need to rebuild the engine in my current Pantera I would not think twice about taking the same route.
