Thats the plan for oct. Never been to laughlin before but sounds like a great time.

Ok heres what ive done so far. Motor looked old and dull
-pulled motor and gave it some love
-cleaned engine bay
-new lucas oil for jet bearings, wish it was a berkley but its a panther. They want like $950.00 just to buy a place diverter.  >:( :mad: :screwy:

Anyways this is the start I went back to the scoop instead of velocity stack. I think it looks better being only single carb
intake.

Nice! Dont trip I got a panther also. You just have to be happy in the 55-57 mph zone. Your berkley buddies just get there a little quicker! But your at the party!!!!

im in the 60's with mine!  dont hate on panther they're virtually bulletproof.  while yer berk buddies are rebuilding you get to spend more time at the lake.  the only problem i have with mine is keeping it planted in teh water.  a little chop and it freewheels.

My Berk, Dom and Jacuzzi get rebuilt every 5 years or 500 hrs, which ever comes first, Just sayin'
But that panther will pump concrete pretty good..
