If it had a WINDSOR it wasn't factory. The merkur wasn't a joint venture between ford and mercedes, it was a german division of ford. I own one. The Pantera had a 351 cleveland in it, the windsor is also 351 c.i. It would have been the same but because of lack of cooling it had to be de-tuned with less compression and a milder camshaft.

[hmmmidunno]

Really neat little cars, I have wayyyy too much money tied up into mine, but it should be around 375-380rwhp. Just moved on to different things though.
