They didn't ....................     

      Are you sure about that!   

      Scott.

If they did I've never seen or heard about it  but I'm no expert. Maybe Doc will chime in?

They didn't use 429 SCJ engines in Nascar. More than likely aimed at drag racing.

Like this one?

That's what I was thinking. I'v known Gerry since the mid 70's. Lived a few miles apart in the oakland hills. Met each other at Mostly Mustangs In Oakland.

Is all of your information going to be in a book for future reference when you are no longer around?

       Roy

I'm thinking about selling this and need to know if it is a 69 or 70? There is only one small mark on the back.

Rotated pictures.

Approximately 76-78 time frame Dick Carter asked me if I wanted to buy his car including spare wheels and engine for $1800. He used to have a small used car lot in San Leandro,ca.

Here's a chart with general recommendations. I used to run 255-50-16 on my lowered 70 coupe.I used Saleen BBS style 16x7 and 16x8 wheels. I don't know the back spacing.

     Roy

I also ran 2x4s for years on my 70 Mustang. With no clearance issues.Tony does run his carbs backwards, so that may be a slight difference there.

Incredible build, only one problem I see is that you have your wing nuts going in different directions 🤔     🤣   LOL

       Roy

Randy (RIP) helped Phil acquire the cars and parts and spent a couple weeks looking for the parts and transporting cars.

      Roy

What's up with the car today?

They even made the pan rail thicker. I don't know if mine has the restrictors. It was built as a 310" TransAm engine (313 was the limit in the mud 80s). They sent it back to Huffaker get it freshened and then didn't have the money to pay the tab. The guy that built my GT1 car picked it up for the $5,000 owed. It's got the A3 aluminum heads on it. I always thought 650 hp would wake a Pantera up - with a lot less work than when we put the twin turbo cammer in the MegaBuck Pantera.

Is that the Pantera with the Inconel exhaust which the Government came to look at?
