Key features of the Quaife QBE62G 5-Speed, ‘H’ pattern ZF replacement transaxle gearbox include:-

• 85mm shaft centres and hypoid crown-wheel and pinion
to handle high output engines
• Fitment, major dimensions and gear-change input
replicates original ZF DS-25/2
• 5-speed H-pattern with ‘dog-leg’ 1st, as per original
ZF DS-25/2
• Standard GT40 or inverted De Tomaso fitment

Except that it isn't designed to run in the Pantera's "inverted" configuration and the company has no desire to modify it to do such. I asked a Quaife engineer years ago about the possibilities.
