Greetings, this is my first public post and almost certain that I will have picked the wrong place to post it, but here goes: My first impression of a 351C Pantera was at a car show about 35 years ago when I was a youngster just getting into the muscle car scene, it just so happens that at this show many cars would wide open throttle there cars when leaving the show and my #1 most memorable blast was from a rebuilt 351C carburated Pantera that I inquired about during the show. I remember that the power band was so wide and strong, a first and second gear blast was so impressive that I remember it to this day, I have seen many very fast worked and stock muscle cars accelorate, but nothing was quite like this. This memory along with much of the knowledge shared on this forum has convinced me to put a 429/521CJ 650hp/tq on hold to finally build a 351C quench 4v for my 1970 Torino in my near retirement years. I now am thinking that the 521 is overkill for weekend street fun but the 351 is a long awaited treasure to be experienced on the street and maybe Watkins Glen NY track some day .Thank you all!
