Reply to "ZF transaxle , max torque load"

bosswrenchMember

Rest easy; the ZF is arguably the strongest piece in your Pantera! It can and will relably hold up to 750 bhp completely stock with no magic parts or super-oils needed. Racers have done big-block swaps into Panteras, including Jr Wilson's beast that ran a 574" Boss 429 pro-stock engine for years in ORR races. The ZF was the one part that gave Jr virtually no trouble behind 850+ bhp at speeds up to 265 mph.
Brutal shifting in very high horsepower engines can wreck synchros and speed-shift shock loads may shear off trans gear teeth, but reasonable care in shifting will give you no trouble with the transaxle, with almost any power level you can afford.
And if you can handle the $50,000 it takes to get an engine up to this power level- maybe for Bonneville-, RBT has custom high-alloy steel gear sets, reinforced cases, 6-speed ZFs and down to 2.20:1 ring & pinion ratios (stock is 4.22:1).
