OP now that I'm not on my phone taking a poop on company time, PM me if you have any questions about mods and I can point you in the right directions or to the right people. I have a few friends who grew up with "box body fever"
A friend of mine who has owned countless box bodies (including 3 wagons and a tudor, still has a 87 colony park) threw a set of trickflow heads + cam along with a MAF conversion into his 89 CV sedan. Tuned with quarterhorse and backed by a T5Z 5spd. Made enough power to send the carrier out the rear diff cover, car never went back together after that and sits as a bare shell in the woods lol.
It's a LoPo w/ E6 heads (don't even think they got E7's, might be wrong there). The engine is such a smog era turd you're better off doing a H/C/I to get some good power.
The continental and mark 7 had the bmw 2.4 (M21) diesel backed by a ZF 4HP22. That was not available in the panther.
