Yes, in November 2021, I bought a pristine, updated, show quality, low mileage 1972 Pantera for the sole purpose of swapping to modern Ford power. PO had this car for 30 years; was a meticulous owner too!
I assume you switched to Coyote power, so you couldn’t use the headers but why didn’t you use the Mind Train mufflers? Just curious.

David, great question! This exhaust system sounded fantastic with the 351 Cleveland, and I am a huge fan of the Cleveland! Had them when I was a kid and have 6 now in different cars/set-ups! The system should stay with the 351C in a Pantera!!
The new motor has higher exhaust velocity and requires a different tune and is a different sound.
I think the reason it isn't selling is, the price is too high for a quick sale. After all, it's a used exhaust system. Glasspack mufflers wear out, but no one really knows where, on these mufflers life-span curve, they are. At this price, you'll need to wait until a Pantera owner needs an exhaust system right NOW and must have a Mind Train system. If it was cheaper, someone that doesn't need a system right now might buy it and put it away until it's needed.
My 2 cents !
What does the cross over pipe look
like u see the car? That might help in my mind!

Mind Train exhaust systems do little to muffle the engine. The "mufflers" are straight through steel tubes!
