I simply typed in "Pantera vs fiero" and I see this thread come up. I am starting to fall in love with the pantera and wonder were the similarities between these two are. Is it even possible to mount a pantera engine into the fiero? I imagine you wouldn't want to because of the gas mileage but who care's about that right?

Pantera used a ford 351 transverse to a ZF trans. Many other engines I would prefer,
------------------
87GTseries 1 3800sc (7.597 @88.53 1.579 60ft)
(series II swap in progress)
85GT Northstar/ 4t80e
86GT 3800 n/a---sold
Northstar Rebuild

Pretty sure the Pantera motor was longitudinal, behind the driver's seats.

i stated that wrong no idea why, you are correct. the ZF is longitude trans, the engine is a ford 351c
There is a Gt5 replica with molds for sale located in Nashville. It was on ebay for a bit.

Diamond Dave :
The manufacturer did not offer the body kit with fender flares, so I just bought a set of fiberglass flares from Hall Pantera !
They fit perfectly on the kit body panels ! ! Will post photos soon ! !
I may upgrade the oil cooler mounts to some sort of plastic material at some point.
I work in wood a lot, and since the car is and will be garaged, and only driven in nice weather,
the wood will last a while ( since I did seal it rather thoroughly ! )
Sad to hear that Dave in Kentucky has lost interest in the Pantero business 
Wish I had the cash to buy up the molds and run the business here ! :P

Good News! My internet is supposed to be back up and running by mid March ! Yahoo !
So I can soon resume posting photos, and get you all caught up with progress !
Have made huge progress on Dash and center console, and other interior trim !
Naturally lots of wiring with console and dash ! Multicolor spaghetti !
We are locked in arctic freeze, so only parts small enough to fit into my house
and basement are getting worked on at the moment ! hehe
More soon ! David
