Anybody know where I can find some used Panther parts. Need a BBC bellhousing and driveshaft coupler. :)

Don't the Panthers use a three point Berk bellhousing? The Panther setup my Dad has is for a Ford and the Bell says Berkeley on it. That won't help with the coupler though, those Panther splines are tiny!

Thanks, Rick. Is the bellhousing the same as a Berkeley?

well the bellhousing is the same, I'm not quite sure what you mean. the bellhousing will not change, just the splines did . the two pumps have a different spline on the shaft.

Trying to help out a local guy here. Boat had a BBF now switching to BBC. Going to keep the Panther in it for now. So a Berkeley BBC bellhousing will bolt up the the Panther pump. And with your coupler he should be go to go. Right?

The bell housing really clamps to the pump. There is a large rubber oring type deal that goes on the pump then the bell housing sits on top and and the clamping part goes on the bottom. 2 long bolts pinch it together. Not sure if a 3 point berkeley bellhousing will work but if it fits the pump I cant see why not. :idea:
