So did you do any work to the 4.6? Torque ranges are quite different in both engines. How does that compare? What are the taillights from?
Amazing car.

Fantastic pictures ...
Can we have MORE?
Do you have engine covers for your car (stock or otherwise)? Or, do you leave it exposed as in your pictures?
Early car with the late front bumbers? Like you, I like the look of later bumpers on the car. I changed the original one to a fibreglass copy to save weight however.
I have been looking at ideas to provide a fresh air intake for my 4.6. I have the stock fuel door in the left gill. What you have done to your left gill gives me ideas for a right side Fresh air intake. What did you make your modified gill out of? How much sheet metal did you cut? etc.
Where did you mount your engine management computer? My concern is heat - computer components need to be kept ventilated for longevity.
Are your wheels BBS, Kenisis, Kodiak or ....?
Thanks

Rick,
I wish I had your talent. Absolutely a magnificent job. The car is gorgeous. If Alejandro was building a Pantera today this should be it!

Rick,
The fresh air intake from the front (windshield valance) grills was available on early cars (roughly under s/n 2000) and late cars (roughly above s/n 6500). There was no fresh air intake for the mid S/N numbered cars (roughly 4000 vehicles).

Rick,
Great looking car, some really novel aspects that work extremely well.
What mirrors are you using, they appear to have a good extension to see over the flares.
I assume the headlights are the Hella 50mm version? If so I looked at these a couple times in preference to the usual 75mm ones used on Pantera's as they'd be easier to fit and lower profile. They appear to give good light qualities too, which was my only worry with such a small unit, so now I'm convinced!

Rick, do you have a copy of the dyno sheet you can post? I know you don't like to brag, but those are fairly impressive curves, especially for a driver engine.
