When Tony Harvey's widow threw his original ZF gearbox in the trash (!), 
the subsequent owner of your car (Jim Cain) bought a new gearbox from RBT.   
Notice the ID tag on the right side of the gearbox, on a raised boss.   I 
believe that yours is a new-production RBT box set up for a Pantera, and thus 
has the M-1 style internals, although it probably doesn't have an M1-style 
mainshaft.   The current RBT boxes are set up with a Pantera-style mainshaft 
with a standard Ford clutch spline.

Tell us what your gear ratios are?   They're printed on the tag.
