i know the mod motors have a clearance issue with the wide block any thoughts?

me thinks so, if not very close to the same style hopeful loyd will let us know

Nope. Not a ZF.It's a Ricardo.

ifin you didnt have a engine or trans axel or half shafts for your pantera which is my case ,and you were thinking of going to a modular motor and this transaxel mates up to the motor . i was thinking of looking for a crashed mustang cobra donor car for the engine , intake, computer then maybe purchase the 6 speed from ford. I also resect the purest with the cleveland with the zf and a carb but since my car i bought with non of these items i might be in a position to go in this direction please tell me your thoughts thanks fly, a newbee

Fly,

Personally, I think your headed in the right direction given your situation. Most of us have limited choices since we are somewhat bound by existing engine/ZF components.

However, your going to have to do some careful research. In particular the distance from the driveshaft to the water pump/crank pully to make sure it will fit without using the #1 spark plug as an arm rest. DOHC nodular motors are a tight fit ( See photos of ZONKEY http://pantera.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8250045562/m/9390056393about half way down the page.

Perhaps you could get the required information from someone who knows the new Ford GT VERY well.

One person would want to return the car to stock condition, another semi stock with upgrades, a third would want to go as wild as his/her imagination & budget will allow, and a fourth would want to make it a race car.

Whichever direction you go, it's YOUR direction, and its OK with your fellow Pantera owners. You have our support.

My only question, when do we go for a ride?

your friend on the DTBB, George

That is why I am here George. To help those whose imagination is just too limited. Why I can think of ways to spend other peoples money until the cows some home.

I suppose that's my problem, no imagination. My ex-wives must figure they can spend my money better than I can, because they certainly didn't leave much for me to spend! lol.....................

Oops, off topic. We're writing about fly's motor & tranny options. Me bad.

He could always get that Ford continuously variable tranny so he doesn't have to shift at all. But he better hurry up because after next year they won't make it anymore.

You have to go to a dealer that sells Motorsport parts. Retail is $14,500

I've been to Panteras by Wilkinson and he doing this exact combo for a Pantera owner. There is extreme modification done to the infrastruture of the car. This includes a rollbar throughout the body. The cost of this modification is BIG dollars! If you have the bucks, nohow and time, then go ahead with the purchase. The trans is much longer and wider than our ZF's.

Quafe also makes one. Its also 12 grand.
I have the specs for it.

E-mail me off the board and I'll send them to you.

I'm always looking for a replacement for the over rated and expensive ZF that cost more to rebuild than buy new.

Don't forget that Lloyd has a 6 speed ZF. Also, seems like the linkage with a different tranny might be an issue. It's already bad enough with the ZF.
