Aussie Heads

Guest

Hi everyone,
I was lucky enough to grab a set of Aussie heads complete with valves etc at a reasonable cost. But after reading what little I could find on the net about them I got confused.
What intakes will work. I thought only V2 intakes but some sites imply I can use a V4 intake. Doesn't sound right, so I comming to the experts.
Also, is the bell housing unique on the pantera because of the ZF? Or are there other applications that can be used? Where can I find one (don't have a transaxle yet).
Thanks, Pete

The "4 Barrel" intake you're probably seeing on e-bay is simply saying it's for a 4-barrel carb. Its "2V" inscription indicates it's proper for 351C "2-barrel heads," which have the smaller intake/exhaust ports than the 4V heads. Most posts I've read from Pantera owners running Aussies say the Weiand Xcelerator 2V intake works especially well (that's what I have). I think technically you can use the 4V intake on Aussie heads but will run out of steam at moderate RPMs. The bellhousing is unique, and even differs between early (-1) and later (-2) ZF models used in Panteras. All the usual Pantera vendors carry these ZFs and bellhousings, or post under Parts Wanted and on the DeTomaso listserv (realbig.com/detomaso).

I HAD THE WEIAND INTAKE AND DID NOT LIKE THE PERFORMANCE AT THE BOTTOM END. I USED THE EDELBROCK PERFORMER 4V AND ENJOY THE LOW END PERFOMANCE. I DONT LIKE TO TAKE THE RPM TO HIGH SO THE LOSS OF TOP END DOES NOT BOTHER ME.
