I dont drive my PANTERA to work ITS NOT PRACTICAL. LOL Ron
Every Pantera owner is different, and has different ideas of how to use his or her Pantera. There is room enough for everybody in our community if we respect each others differences. I do drive my Pantera to work. Eventually I'll drive it all over North America and try to meet each of you.

George, do own those manifolds or just the pictures?.
I did own the Redline manifold in the picture, but sold it. I do not own a Cain manifold, but I am in the market for one if anybody knows where I might find one.

What's the point of putting all that carburetion on 2v heads. They are very, very, not good.
The Aussies favor 2V heads for several reasons, one being they were more plentiful in their country, the 4V heads were scarce. All the 4V motors in Australia were sourced from the US, so when Cleveland production ceased in the US, the supply of 4V motors in Australia also ceased. However, the Aussies were quite happy with 2V heads, because with bigger valves & porting, they can support 450 to 500 bhp, which isn't bad. I would rather have a 2V Cleveland head to work with, than a SBC or Windsor Ford head, any day of the week. The 2V heads are also advantageous for heavier vehicles, towing, higher rear end gearing, automatic transmissions with low stall speed converters, etc. Frankly, if you are not going to rev a standard displacement Cleveland beyond 6000 rpm, there is little need for the 4V head.
