The wife and I picked up ERA 2072 on Thursday. Here's a couple of photos. More photos taken the last couple of weeks can be seen at http://members7.clubphoto.com/dave539245/1072565/guest.phtml Now the work and fun begins!! Thank you ERA!! I have to add that I wasn't...

If not running "1075" or Gulf flairs, Alain's suggested rear tire, a 255/50/16 would be a good choice. However, the recommended rim width is 7 to 9 inches, much less than the 12 inches + width rims on the cars running the wider wheels and bodywork. No or not many 16 inch street tires are...

I found a set of Jongbloed 3 piece modular wheels for a good price. All 16". Couldn't find any tires to fit the rears, 12" wheel width. Ended up getting new 17" rims spun for the rears (for 335 width tires). Fronts at 245 width x 16 inch are easier to find. Because of tire availability, I...

How about the whole car?? Peter P. tells me that ERA would like to have 2072 ready for pickup around the end of the year...which isn't far away. The ultimate Christmas present!! Now, if I could only talk Santa into paying for it!!!

Sure looks like an ITG. Got mine from TWM when I purchased the throttle bodies. TWM had them custom made by ITG, but they no longer sell them.

Jim, As you can see in this photo, the ring gear bolts run VERY close to the case webbing. If the bolts come loose, they back out and the heads of the bolts hit the webs sheering the boltheads off. When you flip the diff (upside down from the Pantera configruation-sets the engine lower in the...

I spent many hours fabricating a custom system for my turbocharged Bug some years ago. It was made of mild steel and was ceramic coated from the start. It has been sent back several times over the years to be recoated because of chips and surface rust starting. While the outside still looks...

Agree Ron, to a point. In fact, I'm using the same valve as Lynn. What worried me though was the small port sizes on the valve. Maybe alright for a car or truck making 250 or 300 HP, but marginal for something making 400+? The pump I'm using (Aeromotive)has an AN10 suction line and AN8...

Jim, I first saw this some time back when the Pantera guys were talking about it on the DeTomaso forum. I had already purchased a vertical TWM setup. I'm running a Cleveland and had to buy my intake in Austraila (for 2V heads). Asa Jay had this as well as some other photos posted on his...

Mark, I plan to use two pumps on my EFI system with a checkvalve downstream of each pump before the lines "Y" together. The only path for fuel to flow is from whichever pump, to the engine on the supply side of the fuel rails. The checkvalves prevents backflow to either tank. A single...

Malcolm, You are correct. Runner length can be tuned to provide torque increases at various rpm ranges with longer runners producing more torque at lower rpm's. Likewise, exhaust header length can also be tuned for better cylinder scavenging at certain rpm's. I've read that injector...

Jim, If things go as planned, I should have a running car by the fall and would be interested in participating if the price is reasonable.

Seen this on the Pantera Forum some time ago. Interesting looking system to say the least. Asa Jay has some additional pictures on his website as well as contact info. This setup was for a 351C. http://www.asajay.com/panthome.htm

A quote from the "car connection" link: "The original GT had some serious aerodynamic issues. It developed so much lift it could barely be kept on the road at speeds over 200 mph. And it “had the drag of a brick,” laughed Kent Harrison, supervisor of performance development for the new sports...

Yep, that's why I didn't put the "E" as is EFI in the topic name. Could have put MFI. I just left it as FI.

I've painted my vehicles various times over the years. I'm not a pro by any means nor do I do it for a living or for others. Painting can probably be summed up by saying 80% of the paint job is preparation...smoothing, priming, sanding, more smoothing. Your hand is a wonderful gauge of...
