I am new to Panteras and have just purchased a 1974 model. Is the stock 351C a CJ, or a Boss, or something in between?
Thanks,
ceswert

1971 Panteras had an M code motor, 1972 through 1974 Panteras had a Q code motor.
So to answer your question, your 1974 motor was called a 4V, but is essentially a 351 Cobra Jet with smaller 2V size valves in the large port 4V heads, dished pistons taking the motor to 8.0:1 compression ratio, a cobra jet camshaft retarded by 4 degrees, exhaust gas recirculation, 750 CFM Autolite 4300D spread bore carburetor.

Thanks much CFH!

Hello Garth,
Thanks for dropping me a line. You have a beautiful car! Your web site is outstanding. I purchased a red, 1974 model. The cooling system, engine and braking has been upgraded. Paint is very decent. I would most likely cruise to Sunnyvale for meetings, though the traffic is nasty. Hope to see you in the future!
