All worth it... hopefully fire early next week

GT-1 car going to Sears on Sunday to learn
the track

Bob

[Panteracer]

Took the Gt-1 to the Sears to learn the place as I have
not been there in 15 years after they threw me out for sound
Car was missing so changed to the alt ignition.. better but still
a slight miss. I was the slowest in the first session, better in
the second and 3rd fastest in the last session I ran.. Good day
for learning the track and shaking out the Gt-1 car
Pantera will be there the end of August for the Shelby Nationals
no sound day... yes no sound so straight pipes.. sounds like a
Can Am car

Bob

[Panteracer]

Still working on the Pantera
New motor is great... shaking it down
before the Shelby Nationals at Sears in
a couple of weeks... Tweaked the wing supports
and Ends a little
Can't wait to run the PZeros and Straight exhaust

Just did the Sears Point SAAC 50 event
Great cars including very rare cars.. some even
running on the track... had a real Lemans Ford gt behind
me running.... very cool....
First time out with my new engine, new shocks, Pzero slicks
and new down bars on the car.. Car ran great... many many
fast guys out there.... no issues and an open header day also

My Pantera buddy shot a lot of cool pictures... this is my
favorite of my car

Finally pulled my 79 TA down off the rack
and took it outside and painted the underside
and the engine bay

Pontiac 467 going in it in the next week or so
Waiting on Engine mounts.. maybe today

Bob

[Panteracer]

Did a test fit for the motor mounts since
my car was a 403 olds and now have aftermarket
mounts.. found these pics so think I am good now

Bob

[Panteracer]

Been slowly working on the engine install
Hopefully taking the car to Sanderson tomorrow
to make a left hand header for the Round port Pontiac
heads....no one makes one that does not drag on the ground

Attached is my adapted power steering pump and alternator
brackets from some things I had laying around... not
a big fan of Pontiac brackets and want things down low

Bob, my Hooker super comps don’t drag…
After one good bump and a flat spotted primary tube. ��

[Panteracer]

Sanderson headers put me off a month so I
bought a set of OEM Ram Air 1V round port
manifolds Was lucky to find a set as the aftermarket
guys Ram Air Specialties had their dad passing and they are still
trying to figure things out

These manifolds will work nicely with my pipes system
I bought for the car

Bob

[Tinker]

Let us know how you like them Bob.
I still have thoughts of manifolds on mine for packaging purposes.
I did a set of edelbrock heads for a guys GTO and it pulled 520hp on the dyno with manifolds. Dyno operator was mildly impressed.
