Looks like my Pantera is getting the exhaust shown here:

http://www.geocities.com/teampanteralongisland/Exhaust1.html

It's for C302B heads on a 9.2" deck block. Primaries are 2"
in diameter, collector is 3" in diameter as are the intermediate
pipes. The intermediate pipes Y-off to 4 individual (2 per side)
straight-through stainless mufflers. The ports on my C302B heads
are only 1 3/4" diameter but flowed 230 CFM (w/o a pipe) at 28"
pressure drop on a Superflow bench. Is there any benefit or
drawback to running 2" primary pipes? The engine will be around
410 cubic inches and 11:1 compression.

Dan Jones

BTW, the guy that makes the exhaust has them on his street-driven
1100 HP twin turbo Pantera (C302 heads, Fontana block, injection,
Schubeck lifters).

I wouldn't think so. My 357 inch motor responded real well to 1 7/8" primaries, and in reality, probably could have used 2 1/8" primaries. If I ever build a stroker motor, it's getting at least 2" tubes, and hopefully 2 1/8" with a 3 1/2" collector.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm glad to hear it since the 2" primaries will allow me to use a back-up longblock with A3 heads. They've got larger exhaust ports but the botl pattern is the same.

I can't help you with your question. But they look great and thats one nice car. It must be a blast to drive. Do you find most people don't what kind of car it is ?

Thanks!

The one pictured with the exhaust isn't mine. That one is owned by Mark
Basile but has the exhaust I intend to use. My car is pictured at:

http://www.bacomatic.org/dan/Dans_Pantera.jpg

I also thought about these 180 degree headers that are on a friend's car:

http://tpoc.socalpantera.com/md_engine.htm

He pulled 464 RWHP with a hydraulic roller cam (specs are wrong on the
page, it was 245 degrees @ 0.050" lift and 0.612" lift) and a 377C with
C302B heads.

> It must be a blast to drive.

It truely is. It just begs to be driven at grossly illegal speeds.

> Do you find most people don't what kind of car it is ?

Yes. Lots of questions asking if it's a Ferrari, Maserati, or
Lamborghini and the occasional "what kind of Volkswagon is that?"
Most are surprised to find it's a 30 year old car.

Dan I knew that wasn't your car. His car is cool too. I've always liked the Pantera.

2 inch primaries on my racecar. It seems to like them. Pulls hard right up through 7400 in high gear.

Yeah Dan. Isn't this brute going to be an invitiation to Loose Your License University?

Should be a fun ride.
