[DeTomaso] Early engine question

Early 351C engines got a square bore intake manifold and a square bore
4300A carb.   Sometime in 1971, the switch was made to low compression open
chamber heads, spread bore 4300D carb and the Cobra Jet camshaft.  The
4300D is a spread bore version of the 4300A.  The classic Autolite square
bore carb is the 4100 and is a completely different design.

     I always believed that Panteras came with spread-bore intakes and
     Autolite 4300D carbs. But this intake is a square bore with matching
     Autolite square bird carb.
