[DeTomaso] Torque?

[Boyd Casey]

According to the published specs a 1974 Pantera L should have 314 ft lbs of
torque at 3600 rpm.
I don't think that torque and HP numbers were usually quoted at the rear
wheel but at the fly wheel. The #s at the flywheel are higher then at the
rear wheels , so 350 ft / lbs at the rear wheels is higher then stock  for
a 1974. Due to emissions  and EPA rules the manufacturer of the engine (
ford ) lowered the compression ratio every year so a 1974 would be the
lowest. Based on your dyno results it would appear that your engine is not
stock. What was the horse power reading?
