Hello
I am new on the forum, and I am a de Tomaso Pantera aficionado. Those cars run a Ford 351 Cleveland block, with a rear drivetrain.
I race Panteras in classic cars in Europe, and finished 13rd at the performance index last week at Le Mans Classic ( plateau 6 ) .
I now start working on another of my Pantera's, that raced at Le Mans back in 1994, and won the British GT championship in 1995. It is a very fast car, that is in the restoration process. It needs an engine ( solved) and a gearbox.(unsolved)
This car is a very sophisticated car, 650 HP+, enormous torque, 1000 kilos, dry sumped, fuel injected, oil pre-heater, ground effect, ... and I was advised, on the Pantera forum, to get in touch with your forum, as someone here may have experienced linking a ( second hand) 6 speed sequential gearbox, either to a Ford 289 or a 351 C or W ?
The transmission system is very similar ( if not identical ) between a GT40 and a Pantera.( Panteras normally run a 5 speed ZF). So, your experience in this field is of high value for me, and if you know of a 6 sp. sitting somewhere on a garage shelf, please let me know
