On special order, you could get a Pantera in 1989 with a Clevelend. A 
customer of mine has such car with US rubber bumper on the front and 
Euro bumpers on the back.
The Pantera 90 where delivered with different Intakes. Some had the GT40 
intake mounted reversed and some came with the stock 302 intake.Only a 
verry few of them had real catalytic converters. Ansa only made FOUR ! 
exhaust systems with catalytic converters for DeTomaso. All others had 
fakes in, when delivered.

   I recall reading the last few cars received 5.0 engines. I didn't
   realize
   how they were configured, assuming this one is "per factory" (which may
   be
   a loose term considering the conditions it was built). That tubular
   intake
   is a Ford Motorsport "GT 40" intake. Available over the counter here in
   the
   USA but not offered from the factory on any vehicle. The closest you
   could
   get was the Ford Explorer with a 302 until about 98 or so if I recall.
   They
   had the correct lower 5.0 intake and a CAST aluminum version of the
   GT40
   upper intake.
   Ford offered the tubular GT40 intake on the Ford Lighting pickup, which
   looked the same but had a different lower intake since the lighting is
   a
   351W motor. (5.8 HO roller). I suppose that motor might be a 351W
   lighting
   motor? I just thought I read they were all either Clevelands or the
   last
   few were 5.0's. Hard to tell but that certainly looks like a 302/5.0
   motor
   with the lower deck height. For what its worth, Ive had a 5.0 mustang
   with
   that same intake, healthy cam and heads make over 400 horse and put me
   in
   the mid-low 12's in the quarter. They can be very healthy if done right
   and
   arguably lighter. But they do seems tiny in that engine bay.
   Did any factory equipped pantera ever receive a 351Windsor engine?
   Didn't
   think so.
   I have never seen an SI up close. Do all of them have the tubular rear
   subframes like that? Unexpected. Looks more like an individual
   modification.
   Transaxle looks different too. Is it a different generation of ZF?
   Interesting!!!!!
