[DeTomaso] FW: FW: Which 351 in each year

[asajay at asajay.com]

Well, I have one, an original unmolested engine, well, except I did  
have that problem with that timing gear on the cam side a while back,  
but otherwise, the engine in my Pantera has never been out.  That,  
according to all the receipts I got with it.  So I'm looking forward  
to the day I finally get into it to play.  The plan of course, is to  
build one to go in before I take it out. :)  Which will then give me  
plenty of time to play with it, photograph it for posterity, etc.
