You could put your video on a file sharing site and post the link here. e.g. Example of video in shared Google Drive folder

Modified 3.8 litre engine. Very long term project.
Calling it a "kit car" is a bit insulting. "Kit" implies that you buy something that only requires bolting together. Everything is provided and no engineering or research is required. Not the case here.

Panteras, like most Italian cars were known to rust away so Long and Newman made fiberglass replacement bodies.
The idea is you move all the good parts from a rusty car to the replacement body; drive train, glass and other hardware was reused.
I acquired a collection of Pantera parts with the body. I did not get a ZF transaxle and 351C engine, so I chose to use something easier to obtain - a V6 Buick and transaxle.
It's a big project. Rebuilding the Chevy truck was relatively easy!

Looks like you got plenty of space for a turbo or 2. That would make it almost as fast or more as the 351.
