1973 DeTomaso Pantera with Ford 5.4L Modular Engine

[Derek@ModernSpeed]

I'm working with a customer in California that happens to be installing a 5.4L SOHC Modular Engine into a 1973 Pantera. So as you can imagine, this is not your average run of the mill swap. I won't get into all the details at this time, but I would like to note some highlights, and give you guys/gals a few pictures.

It's a nice build for sure.

Awesome! Makes me want a Pantera again! haha

[Derek@ModernSpeed]

I would love to own it, but that's not an option at this point in life. Maybe one day. I can't wait til we start tuning this thing. It should be really fun to drive.

I absolutely love Panteras. I look forward to seeing this beast come together.

I can't wait either. I hope to hear something from the owner this week.
