Can anyone tell me if the original air filter housings were special to the Pantera? Were they shaped a certain way or did other Ford air cleaners interchange?

They were garden-variety Ford V 8 air cleaners. The only special parts were the corrugated hose that attached to the snorkel and the sheet-metal choke-stove on a header pipe for hot ait during warm-up. In the evil-80s when CA forced such things, we used stock 460 Ford truck air cleaners to comply with CARB's inane 'visual' smog rules; they looked stock & worked fine..
