[DeTomaso] Building a Sleeper

[Scott Mead Photography]

Many thanks to everyone who responded to this thread. I've received a ton of
great advice and options to think about -- stroker motors, turbo and
supercharging, injection and engine swaps. It's people like you, who freely
share your experiences, thoughts and advice, that make Pantera ownership
second to none.

Many mahalos to you all!

Scott
