I've pondered the same thought about a BMW V12 in a Pantera. I wouldn't do it to mine (too original), but would love to try it if I had a 2nd Pantera to turn into a 'modern' supercar. And as others have already said, the Pantera (and it's community) is one of the few cars that modifications are accepted, even encouraged. I was going to post those BMW V8 Pantera links too, but Denis beat me to it.
Can't wait for progress updates and more pics.
