Internally they are exactly the same (talking about 1971-1974 Panteras).   
There were several different engines used between 1971 and 1974, but the 
European cars switched at the same time as the American cars.   The European GTS did 
receive some external engine modifications, in the form of an aluminum Ford 
intake manifold, Holley 650 double-pumper carburetor, and freer-flowing exhaust 
system.   But internally there were no changes.

>>>TSB #4 lists three different engines used for 1971 and 1972:

K613J      351-4V    Cleveland     10.7:1      1971
K621JG     351-4V      CJ             8.6:1          1971
KK621SG      351-4V     CJ             8.6:1       1971

But I thought I saw a listing elsewhere that had more engine types than that.

>>>Everything is Ford; on the Euro GTS and Gr3, quality aftermarket Ford 
parts (and a Holley carburetor) were substituted, but internally they are all 
stock--even the Gr3 cars.
