[DeTomaso] Top 10 Pantera Upgrades

[Bob Timma]

After driving up to the top of Sandia Crest the other day I pondered all that I have done to 3952. I came up with a list of upgrades, fixes, creature cumforts, and preformance improvements that I have done that have make a difference. In no particular order:
 
#1 Aluminum Radiator and 21st century fans
 
#2 Fuse Box with blade fuses (electrical gremlins be gone!)
 
#3 Upgraded AC system (I went to R134 but have no complaints as how it preforms)
 
#4 Rebuilt rear axles
 
#5 Big 17" tires expecially the rears (made all the difference in those 21 hair pin turns going up to Sandia Crest)
 
#6 Rebuilt rear suspension (added to the grin and confidence factor of those hair pins)
 
#7 High torque rebuild Cleveland (max rpm's 5500, solid lifter cam, Aussie heads)
 
#8 High flow water pump
 
#9 Better seats (Thanks Ed!)
 
#10 Safety wired the ZF final drive bolts (A must!)
 
Your list may vary Drive and enjoy!
