dont do that, there a gem of an engine...if anything turbo the existing one.

As for the sensors, if you are still stuck late next week I will look at my mates. I remember mucking round with them when I last serviced her car, but that was a good few months ago now. theres several people on here with detoms though, so someone should be able to help.

The De Tomaso Pantera is the real deal.

They're both worked on by the same fella.

stephen bedford: Try bbs.daihard.org - they're a harsh lot if you ask stupid questions, but if you're sensible and don't use txt talk you will get a good answer.

Indeed.

However, not readily available for under $4000.
