Does anyone have any pics or info on the slim line passenger bulkhead from Pantera Performance?

Didn't know they marketed one. Marino Perna of Pantera East designed & marketed one for the 351-C maybe 5 or 6 yrs ago. Note that the bulkhead cover is only part of the necessary gear you need. There's also a trimmed steel firewall door replacing the stock bulgy one, and a relocated alternator with a special bracket to replace the bracket you now have, mounting the AC compressor & alternator. Once the alternator is pulled in an inch or so, all the rest can be done, finally allowing the pasenger seat to go back flush with the firewall. There's only a small bulge in the center to clear the waterpump pulley. Steve Wilkinson also markets a flat firewall bulkhead intended to work with his DOHC 4.6 Mustang engine conversions. His works because the 4.6 engine is 3" shorter than the 351-C, thus the alternator & waterpump aren't protruding.
The carbureted 302 is 24" wide & identical in length (29") to a 25" wide 351-C in engine bay dimensions, according to several sources on the Web. The 302 is 2" lower, though.
