[DeTomaso] MANGUSTA ZF FLUID / Dick Ruzzin

[Julian Kift]

Okay, so putting drinking aside and assuming the 2.1 liters refers to the GT40/Mangusta orientation for the -1, I have the following niggling questions...

 

1. What oil volume would be correct for the -1 in a Pantera (what Jack refers to as a -1.5)?

2. What volume of oil is appropriate for a -2 when flipped for use in a GT40?
